A French philosopher dies during a savage summer heat wave. Boxes
carrying his unpublished miscellany mysteriously appear in Simon
Critchley's office. Rooting through piles of papers, Critchley
discovers a brilliant text on the ancient art of memory and a cache
of astrological charts predicting the deaths of various
philosophers. Among them is a chart for Critchley himself, laying
out in great detail the course of his life and eventual demise.
Becoming obsessed with the details of his fate, Critchley receives
the missing, final box, which contains a maquette of Giulio
Camillo's sixteenth-century Venetian memory theatre, a space
supposed to contain the sum of all knowledge. That's when the
hallucinations begin...
