Adam Gordon is a brilliant, if highly unreliable, young American
poet on a prestigious fellowship in Madrid, struggling to establish
his sense of self and his attitude towards art. Fuelled by strong
coffee and self-prescribed tranquillizers, Adam's 'research' soon
becomes a meditation on the possibility of authenticity, as he
finds himself increasingly troubled by the uncrossable distance
between himself and the world around him. It's not just his
imperfect grasp of Spanish, but the underlying suspicion that his
relationships, his reactions, and his entire personality are just
as fraudulent as his poetry.
