Amidst the death of a cat, family heirlooms, and the echoes of a lost love, the protagonist engages in a dialogue with his sister, Amanda (a scientist, sculptor, and private mythological figure), with his deceased uncle (an aspiring writer), and with the authors who accompany him (Leopardi, Salinger, Joyce, Nabokov), constructing a 'personal encyclopedia of loss,' where the tragic, the laughable, and the radically intimate coexist.
