Synopsis
The Master ruminates on the death of an idiot who lived with him, for which he may or may not be responsible, and on his own death. He rehashes events with his friend, the doctor, and in his notebooks. His ruminations form the "passacaglia' or recurring melody of the book. "Don't bother too much about logic: everything in Passacaille is directed against it." Pinget in a letter to Barbara Wright
