==Plot Introduction==
The story concerns Jack Gorse, a lonely unemployed lawyer with obsessive-compulsive traits〔(The Smoking Poet Interviews Pamela Erens ) Retrieved 2015-07-23.〕 whose life is controlled with routine and ritual. The narrative alternates between his past life in Manhattan, and his present life in a Buddhist monastery in Vermont where he attempts to restore neglected bonsai trees. His routine in Manhattan includes visiting the same diner and bookstore every day and walking the same route to Brooklyn Bridge and through Central Park whilst searching for identical twins. But his equilibrium is upset when he is threatened with eviction from his long-term Upper West Side apartment and he becomes attracted to Patrick, the architect planning its redevelopment.
