From the back cover: "I continue praying till I am emptied of words though I remain prostrate as it feels as if some unknown part of me rises from inaccessible depths and continues supplicating without locution. After a vague but possibly lengthy portion of time I roll onto my back in blank exhaustion and closing my eyes I see countless stars emerging from the dark fringes of my visual field and flying away from me at fantastic speeds. Opening my eyes I sit up and begin to stand and when I get to my feet I am shot through with an exquisite feeling of joy which almost instantly vanishes. I stand staring at the thin grey carpet a moment and then decide to get wasted."
