In the cathedral at Girona hangs an embroidered Tapestry of Creation, every wind and beast and season stitched into its ordained place, a world in which nothing is homeless. The man drifting through this novel, known only as X, keeps returning to it in his mind while he moves between borrowed cities, rented rooms, small jobs, and the company of others who have learned not to unpack.

What we love in any structure is a vision of the world that gives order to chaos
Ship of Fools, Cristina Peri Rossi
