About This Book
A normally poised man finds his life upended after contact with a strange elixir, which produces unpredictable bodily and sensory disturbances. As he seeks relief he moves through comic scenes of social awkwardness, marital jealousy, and bungled attempts at medical help, encountering eccentric shopkeepers, officious authorities, and odd technologies along the way. The narrative blends domestic satire with surreal, escalating mishaps, turning everyday anxieties into a series of frantic, increasingly absurd efforts to understand and reverse the condition.
