He theorizes a world with a new layer of connection with the mysterious doors, as well as how a relationship can progress under the strain of being a homeless refugee. Through the eyes of the seemingly inseparable pair, the book explains what happens when a college pair exits west in the literal sense.

The relationship between Jig and the American is complex from the very beginning since their personalities, methods of communicating, and desires are different. The American represents infertility, selfishness and death but how can he not be when he’s a single man, traveling, trying new drinks, spending nights in hotels with no worry about money and now he has impregnated a women, of course he will lose his zest for her (Hannum).
