About This Book

A man is haunted from childhood by a strange, suspended wave that appears in recurring dreams and stirs a deep sense of impending occurrence. The book follows his inward struggle to distinguish anticipation from memory, exploring how desire, association, and foreknowledge shape his thoughts and relationships. Conversations and reflections trace the intellectual and emotional tug between expecting and having experienced events, while the obsession drives him beyond his familiar surroundings to Egypt. There the tensions between inner vision and outer reality reach a decisive phase, forcing a reckoning with the psychological force that has governed his life.
