Jack Valentine seemed to have it all. He made good money as an ad man and looked good doing it. He had a hot apartment, cool friends, even a slick car - at least until the hectic Monday morning a truck smashed into it, sending the critically injured Jack to the hospital. Everything happens for a reason, though, and Jack’s reason reveals itself in the silver-haired cancer patient who becomes his roommate one evening. The elderly man, Cal, shares his life story - one not dissimilar to Jack’s - of material wealth masking a gaping hole within.

Ein Büchlein aus dem 16. Jahrhundert dient in dieser Erzählung als Basis zu einer modernen Interpretation allfälliger metaphysischer Erweiterungen des Individuellen schlechthin. Oftmals scheint sich die biologische Grenze auszudehnen, Phantomidentitäten bieten ihre durchaus funktionierenden Dienste an, d. h. Sein und Schein verschmelzen ineinander, das Eine wird durch einen bloßen Willensakt auch zum Anderen und bildet somit das Leben innerhalb eines Dralls ab.

Man bemerkt aber schon jetzt eine gewisse barbarische Tendenz zur Zerstörung, die in einer erweiterten Bedeutung der Geschehnisse die Grundlage, das Fundament sozusagen, für eine neue Ordnung bilden.

In einer unscheinbaren Bar irgendwo in Mexiko treffen und inspirieren sich einander der epochale Caravaggio und einige der durchaus modernen Anderen, ohne sich vom eigenen, dynamisch schicksalhaften Kurs abbringen zu lassen, der ja immer wieder als Mixtur individueller und fremder Eingebungen auftritt. Es ist ein unfassbares Gerangel an chaotischem Gewühl, das dabei entstehen muss, eine klärende, aber auch erstaunliche Karambolage zeitloser Anliegen.
