Tras veinte años de ausencia Spider regresa a Londres. Se instala en el East End, su barrio natal, en una buhardilla de una pensión próxima a la calle Kitchener, en la que vivió su niñez. En aquella buhardilla, en las largas horas de la noche, Spider comienza a escribir las memorias de su infancia, una infancia marcada por su padre, un fontanero que mantiene relaciones con una llamativa prostituta, y por su madre, condenada al sufrimiento de conocer tales relaciones. Spider es un solitario, un ser extraño a todos los lugares, extraño a si mismo. Y, a través de su escritura, su frágil engarce con la realidad le provoca distorsiones de la memoria que abocan a la confusión entre el pasado y el presente, un proceso cuyo fin solo puede ser la locura. Spider no es el autoanálisis de un loco: es un viaje a través del tortuoso paisaje de la locura y una compleja novela, desarrollada con vigor e inusual elegancia, sobre la complejidad de un horror excesivamente cotidiano.
