Publisher's Synopsis
By interweaving innovation and allusion, this fragmentary tale examines our European heritage and discovers love, loss and lust in all their guises. Sophia is gone, and Jon distraught. To come to terms with his loss he embarks on a journey across Europe. On the way he encounters prostitutes, is lectured by the Graces and has a passionate affair with a decaying Hercules, yet all the while he mourns his lost Sophia. This short, poetic work turns the latent psychological realism of the modern novel on its head in a bid to uncover something new.
