This imaginative work explores the complexities of adolescence and identity through the experiences of its main character, Howard Dax, who, amidst his struggles as a physics teacher, embarks on an experimental journey involving time travel and transformation. The story effectively intertwines themes of scientific inquiry with the trials of youth and societal pressures. In the narrative, Howard Dax, feeling worn down by his life, conducts an experiment to travel back in time, intending to inhabit the body of one of his ancestors. However, the procedure goes awry, and he instead becomes a cat named Tybalt during the late Middle Ages in England. Through Tybalt's experiences, Dax encounters the challenges of survival in a primitive world, the complexities of human interactions, and the humorous absurdities of being a jester's companion. As he tries to communicate his true identity and find a way back to his original self, he grapples with both the fear of being killed and the limits of understanding across vastly different eras, leading to a blend of humor, tension, and philosophical reflection on the nature of existence.
