America in the '40s, the height of World War II. The story centers on a man named Hertz Minsker, a self-styled hybrid of existentialist philosopher, religious thinker, and psychoanalytic theorist who rejects all categories in favor of what he calls "human research," a mishmash of reflections on humanity and its aspirations. Minsker can't finish any of the books he has started, yet some Yiddish-speaking Jewish immigrants, like him, regard him as a failed genius, a lost soul from an illustrious rabbinical family, because he is constantly pulling money from his wife, friends and girlfriends, but has the potential to become a great man. Minsker is surrounded by people no less misguided - his best friend, a businessman who often supports him financially, the businessman's wife, a graphomaniac poet who wants to break through in the world of Yiddish literature, a spiritist housewife who arranges fake séances for Minsker's sake, and his wife, who lives in constant depression because she left her husband and children in Poland and fled to America with Hertz. The novel traces the actions of these and other characters, while Minsker turns their already complicated personal lives into complete chaos.
