Desiderio, an employee of the city under a bizarre reality attack
from Doctor Hoffman's mysterious machines, has fallen in love with
Albertina, the Doctor's daughter. But Albertina, a beautiful woman
made of glass, seems only to appear to him in his dreams. Meeting
on his adventures a host of cannibals, centaurs and acrobats,
Desiderio must battle against unreality and the warping of time and
space to be with her, as the Doctor reduces Desiderio's city to a
chaotic state of emergency - one ridden with madness, crime and
sexual excess. A satirical tale of magic and sex, The Infernal
Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman is a dazzling quest for truth,
love and identity.
