Joe is an invisible bank teller, discussing the end of a relationship with god, counting the cobblestones in a restaurant, looking at the moon from a cemetery in war, teeth chattering and seizure fantasy in the first person. Joe is in a mental hospital on a ship with a mad psychiatrist who declares the ship a sovereign nation and declares war on New Zealand. An absurd attempt to climb K2. Pyrobenzamine, siders, and the doctor who kills his male lover assistant at a medical conference, goes to prison, and tries to escape by mailing himself.
