The plot of this book is incredibly simple: a man wants to write a book the way he wants to live. If he deciphers the secret of language, he will finally be able to exist. Dealing with the craft of writing is, then, a life-and-death struggle. How far must a man go to etch his first note in the world? The search for the word of truth sweeps the reader into one of the original adventures that our contemporary literature has known: everything takes place in small plots - confessions, dialogues for framing, surreal tales, plastic hallucinations, thoughts steeped in hashish, and intimate passages brimming with humor. Although its author never got to see it put into print, the richness, intensity, and sculptural style cause the text to produce a living energy that envelops its readers in an experience rich in literary fragments that penetrate deeply into our consciousness. Will the narrator be able to establish for himself a temple of words in which he can dwell? On the way there, he will have to struggle for the form of expression, find the irreplaceable word, capture the saving linguistic twist. Assaf Walden's plan is impossible from the start. The way he managed to realize it is the wonder contained in the pages of this book.
