This novel tells the story of the dull life of unemployed academic
Dr. Jones and how it changes forever when he sees a young man naked
on a building top, threatening to jump to his death. Persuaded to
descend, the stranger is befriended by Jones. The stranger, named
Melog, explains that he has been exiled from Laxaria, a country
colonized by Sacria, which has banned the Laxarian language and
destroyed its culture. He has come to Wales in search of a lost
Laxarian manuscript, the "Imalic," the only surviving copy of his
country's legends. Drawing on themes related to cats,
noncommunication, and political oppression, this tender story of
friendship is a satire of the purpose and intent that dominate
people's lives.
