The novel consists of four stories divided among eight chapters, anchored to a massive writing desk that resurfaces among numerous households, much to the bewilderment and existential tension of those in its orbit. Among them are a lonely American novelist clinging to the memory of a poet who has mysteriously vanished in Chile; an old man in Israel facing the imminent death of his wife of 51 years; and an esteemed antiques dealer tracking down the things stolen from his father by the Nazis. Krauss skillfully weaves together the disparate elements, settings, and characters.
