Aminadab, the fellow who in keeping with legend guards the doorway to the building's underground areas, is just one of the mysteries reified by way of the rumors circulating one of the residents.
Written in a prose that's classical and from time to time lyrical, Blanchot's novel features as an allegory referring, peculiarly, to the wandering and striving circulation of writing itself.

The physiognomy of the three new comers did not seem to him to be commensurate with these comic games. Their miniscule and piercing eyes turned on everything with an air of confrontation, and the insistence of their gaze, no matter what it fastened on, gave rise to suspicion, then to error. But neither was it a relief to es cape from this gaze. Thomas could not long tolerate remaining aloof.
