Description

Solomon Wiese's story is one that will take all night to tell. It begins with an encounter at a bar near Waterloo Bridge, where he shares his tale of scandal and accusation with an unnamed narrator. This conversation lasts until morning, revealing a complex web of events that include childhood encounters with nothingness, conspiracies, poetry cults, and a love affair with a woman carrying a signpost. As Solomon's story unfolds, it becomes clear that his downfall is linked to plans for a triumphant return to the capital, involving theft, illegal war profits, and faked social media accounts. The narrator soon discovers he is obscurely implicated in these plans, drawing him into a world of poetry, psychosis, and betrayal. The entire night - and the remainder of the novel - will be spent unraveling Solomon's story, a narrative that spans conspiracies, childhood encounters, and the darker side of ambition.
