Die Biografie beleuchtet das Leben von Walt, einem sensiblen Juristen mit einer Vorliebe für Poesie, und seinem konträren Zwillingsbruder Vult, einem satirischen Flötisten. Beide Figuren sind Aspekte von Jean Paul selbst und arbeiten an einem Buchprojekt, das jedoch nicht vorankommt. Trotz ihrer unterschiedlichen Charaktere bleibt ihre Bindung bestehen, auch wenn ihr kreatives Vorhaben an mangelndem Interesse der Verlage scheitert. Der Roman thematisiert die Spannungen zwischen Gefühl und Satire und endet in der Unvereinbarkeit ihrer Persönlichkeiten.
