The four stories of Part I vary in setting from Shinobazu Pond to
19th-century Germany, where Dostoevsky toils in despairing,
poverty-stricken exile on Crime and Punishment. The "Nectar
Fragments" of Part II are linked short stories set in the fictional
Montreal suburb of Nectar, where an aging recluse living like a
prisoner in the house in which he grew up struggles to recast the
story of Abraham and Isaac into modern form. Was Abraham a saint,
or a murderer? No one suspected the recluse himself had a son - who
one day appears, seemingly out of nowhere...
