Sledujeme jeho dramaticky utek pres Jugoslavii, zivot v New Yorku, praci pro Svobodnou Evropu v Mnichove a pendlovani mezi rodnou zemi a Amerikou. K motivu vykoreneni exulanta se pridava bolestna ztrata zivotni lasky, s niz se hlavni hrdina nikdy nesmiril. Mlada doktorandka Natalie touzi po podrobnostech z Adamova zivota pro svou knihu, zatimco on se snazi presvedcit, ze jeho zivot a dilo se brzy propadnou do nicoty. Skepticky uvazuje o marnosti lidskeho konani a ironicky se stavi k tem, kteri se o poznani sveta snazi. Zajimave jsou pasaze, kde Adam odhaluje tajemstvi spisovatelskeho remesla, a vznika tak nikdy nedokonceny roman o historii domu v Parizske ulici v Praze. Prostrednictvim dvou originalnich vypravecu, papouska Zaka a golema Josilleho, se dostavame do fascinujicich dejin prazskeho Zidovskeho Mesta a klademe si otazku, kdo je vlastne vypravecem pribehu.
