This short novel is an existential voyage seen through the mind of a man trying to bring his life back on track, after having experienced a series of unexpected problems. His reflections on life, and death, take him to places he had never expected to go in his previous, stable life, that before he fell through the cracks. The people he meets in his new life, the events he lives, all take a toll on him, causing his primordial optimism to be relentlessly challenged. It is a study of all the things that can cause upheaval in our lives, but of which we are generally unaware, until they rain down on us.
