This book turns on a single premise: a car crash that may or may not occur, held in place long enough for everything to pass through it. The scene never settles. Instead, it keeps receiving material—memories, conversations, fragments of earlier days, imagined futures—each one entering as if pulled toward impact. A man moves through these returns during the final stretch of his life, revisiting what he has said, what he has failed to say, and what still resists arrangement into any stable account.
