the Doctor's daughter. But Albertina, a beautiful woman made of glass,
seems only to appear to him in his dreams.
Meeting on his adventures a host of cannibals, centaurs and acrobats,

chaotic state of emergency - one ridden with madness, crime and sexual
excess.

Doctor Hoffman is a dazzling quest for truth, love and identity.
