About This Book

A restless speculator survives a shipboard disaster and awakens in a peculiar coastal city where residents are consumed by anxieties about minor flaws. He adapts by opening an office that advertises help for those who feel something wrong, encountering neighbors who seek correction of posture, speech, and bearing. Strange trinkets and odd encounters accentuate a community obsessed with perceived imperfections, and the proprietor’s practical responses to clients escalate into startlingly pragmatic measures, revealing tensions among self-doubt, conformity, and the ways insecurity can be commodified.
