The story is about a man named Asterios Polyp. He is pompous, egocentric, and condescending yet manages to be intensely likable. Asterois is a renowned architect, despite the fact that none of his designs have ever been built. As he turns half a century Asterios's apartment is struck by lightning and burned to the ground. He decides to go on a fateful journey in which he abandons every thing and becomes a auto mechanic in the small town of Apogee. Through out this the book [[Anachronic Order|flashes back to various points]] of his now defunct marriage with Hana. And also fantasy scenes with his [[Death by Childbirth|dead twin Ignazio]], and a few scenes narrated by him also.
