The fractured characters in the most famous big city and their mystical and at the same time trivial meeting in the New York life of the protagonist Idas Lynkeus describe a strange overall picture full of feelings, thoughts and ways of fate, which always find themselves in the thicket of art gal-leries and jazz evenings. This novel draws character studies of people who experience life in Manhattan in an intense, reflective way and are on the trail of the meaning of their lives between sex, violence and drugs, in short, Eros and death. Is it an escape into the individual itself or out of it? Is it enlightenment, compulsion, or philosophical search for meaning as a means of escape?
