Ergo — Jakov Lind

The consuming passion of Wacholder, the star of Lind's most playful work, is his only true friend and nemesis, Wurz, who hasn't left his house in 17 years. When Wacholder's 74th letter seemingly has no effect, he turns to other increasingly outlandish schemes to defeat his rival, even staging a rally to declare Wurz's non-existence. A feverishly comic novel.
