This very short novel consists mainly of a series of monologues narrated in the first person by a once successful barrister who, through a combination of unexpected events, has come to see through the hypocrisy of his life. The story is told to a stranger he meets in a waterfront bar in Amsterdam and relates the circumstances that led him from his well-ordered respectable life in Paris to his present condition as a self-styled ‘judge penitent’.
