The vignette entitled "Guidance from Cioran" refers to an unnamed man whom the unnamed narrator meets while traveling. The man tells the narrator that he believes his book of philosophy by Cioran is more helpful for daily use than is a Bible. And when he opens the book to a random page, he reads a passage that discusses the way in which people should go about "graz[ing] the dust in search of a mystery stripped of everything serious" (23).
