The novel opens on a boy drifting in a canoe below a mountain, and follows him to New York, where his friendship with a worldly young New Yorker, his loves and the city’s cafés and offices pull him in different directions. Frank writes in an intense, lyrical, experimental prose that tries to capture the inner life of the city.
