Denis Klegg, a solitary and complicated man, returns to London, to the neighborhood where he spent his childhood, after a long period spent living in Canada. He feels an urgent need to write about himself and his past, and decides to do so at any cost.

However, his memories are so strange, so confused. A hero and a narrator at once, Denis brings to light a story that may well be true, but could also be born from his muddled mind, and he feels that his life was nothing but an endless web of spiders.

People, places, objects, events emerge from the fog until the end of the book where, with a powerful crescendo, everything gains an astonishing clarity. A unique book, a dive into the human soul and mind.
