It is a gripping story of person suffering from schizophrenia in modern Singapore. The narrative traces the alienation and failures that he faces from teenage years to adulthood which result in his mental disorder. It is both realistic and allegorical at the same time and makes use of poetry to bring together parts of the prose seamlessly. The novel also attempts to explore the intricate relationship between insanity, creativity and spirituality. It is through the understanding and mastering of this delicate yet fertile balance and unity that the healing process takes place, but it is not without much suffering and sacrifice.
