Description
Kleinzeit, a man adrift in the bewildering landscape of London, escapes the confines of a hospital only to find himself on a surreal journey through the city's underbelly. Armed with a glockenspiel and a copy of Thucydides, he navigates encounters with eccentric characters and grapples with a peculiar, geometric pain. This stylized and unpredictable narrative delves into Kleinzeit's quest for reality, exploring themes of perception, sanity, and the search for meaning in a fragmented world. Russell Hoban masterfully crafts a darkly humorous and thought-provoking exploration of the human condition.
