A novel in which a solitary voice tries to save an ordinary day in a quiet suburban house from being lost to forgetting. Casual talk, glances, and the search for a missing scrap of paper gradually bring the shape of everyday life into focus.

A long monologue that tries to hold an ordinary day against oblivion.
