The narrator arrives in his 117th rented room at the end of an epic
journey, abandoned by his lover, almost broke and certainly
feverish. His obsession with the insects he shares the room with
and his beautifully articulated observations of himself on the edge
of a physical and mental collapse extend out to include the
insect-like habitues of the local cafe - the charlatans, the
indolent landowners and even a levitating priest who has been dead
for six years. This razor-sharp chronicle of experience, which grew
out of Bouvier's seven-month stay on the island of Ceylon, shows
that if you travel, you must be prepared to discover not only
delights but also the worst as well.
