Too soon or too late, Harry Royhatten discovers that at the borders of every man's mind are bizarre and terrifying things always ready to fill the empty spaces made by fright and failure.
"In the season of poisoned husbands and strangled wives, of the Burmese monsoon, mud and gray, with roaches the size of mice, rats big as cats, cobras drowning in ditches, and a murderous boredom that drives the foreigners into their crumbling brick houses to drink and gamble and wither, Harry Royhatten came among us, the man who could not understand our games and jokes, who at first believed too much and then later too little, and we drove him to adultery, arson and murder, and it all seemed grand fun."
