„Neexistuje způsob, jak netrpět. Ale člověk zkouší různé způsoby, jak se v tom neutopit.“ Muži a ženy v těchto osmi krátkých povídkách tuto pravdu chápou na elementární úrovni a jejich příběhy v podání Jamese Baldwina podrobně popisují důmyslné a často zoufalé způsoby, jak se snaží udržet nad vodou. Může to být heroin, který bere jazzový pianista na dně, aby čelil hrůze z toho, že svůj život vložil do neživého nástroje. Může to být křehká zbožnost otce, který nikdy nedokáže odpustit svému synovi jeho neschopnost žít v manželství. Nebo to může být zástěna bigotnosti, kterou vztyčil buranský poslanec, aby otupil strašlivou vzpomínku z dětství, kdy s rodiči viděl, jak rozjařený dav vraždí černocha.
