"Reader, you do not know what you hold in your hand. Castor & Pollux is a novel of action, of mad passions, dreams, mysteries, and ideas. Reading it is like watching a magician at work."
-Alexander Jech
SLACK, a deadened London lawyer with sleeping problems and a mysterious past, comes alive at night. The only problem is that he can never remember what happened the night before. One morning, as he embarks on his daily routine, Slack finds the fascinating outline of a novel he must have composed in his half-asleep state. He somehow knows the secret to his enigmatic existence lays in this unwritten novel and determines to bring it to life.
Slack's reality takes a surreal turn when he encounters the novel's protagonist, OWEN, in the flesh. Rather than back away from this extraordinary situation, Slack decides to follow Owen and see where the journey will take him. His spiritual quest leads Owen back to the States to mourn an old friend, to an odd spiritual retreat, and back to an old love interest. As the narrative unfolds, both Slack and Owen find themselves trapped in the darkest depths of the human psyche, and together must reach the brightest heights of spiritual reality to escape.
