O knihe

Fing arrives in Limbo (USA 1826-1899) after falling out of Perdition, and lands at Ft. Phoenix in Fairhaven Massachusetts. He reunites with Lincoln and meets Herman Melville. They shortly make their way to New Bedford, joining with a second guide, Jack, who has down's syndrome. They meet Millard Fillmore and Stephen Douglas before joining with a crew of seamen at the "first shanty bar they could find." There they have adventures with the seamen and Ulysses Grant, before beginning their uphill ascent in earnest, continuing up Union Street. One stop is at Old Hickory's Tannery, where Andrew Jackson, "accoutred as a Roman" rapes Fing. Shortly after, Fing and Jack witness Lincoln's assassination, which leaves Fing without his guide. But Jack is there and able, and they are also soon joined by Frederick Douglass and Gertrude Stein as the journey toward Lilica, Freedom, Love and Enlightenment continues. They go to the St. Lawrence Church on County Street and further adventures with a barber, Edgar Allan Poe, John Tyler, Texas, Andrew Johnson and Rutherford Hayes ensue, before Jack and Fing leap off the top of the church tower.
