The novel is interspersed with rambling reflections and philosophical musings that alternate between vile and inspired. Bob is a rejected man. He is rejected by his family, by his community and by a system of justice disgusted by his existence. Yet, although he is admittedly the lowest order of man, he retains a sense of justice, equanimity and visceral love of fairness and his fellow creature. While the world has tossed him away, Bob embodies a humanity unblemished by greed, self-love, or ambition. Bob is a man of his own making, appearing broken through the twisted lens of modern society.
Bob is the voice of the unrepresented, the despised, and typecasted. Bob's station has only been represented in literature as the comic foil, the sage homeless, or the pugnacious malcontent. None of these characters accurately represent a man. In this story, Bob is complex and raw; he is unrefined and thoughtful; he is a man of unique and immutable qualities. Bob is a voice for the voiceless, and that quiet participation adds a truly unique perspective to a deeper, universal conversation.
