Der Autor Peter Jones analysiert einen tiefgreifenden Wandel in der westlichen Kultur, der sich in zwei konkurrierenden Weltanschauungen manifestiert: "Oneism" (Einsheit) und "Twoism" (Zweiheit). Er hinterfragt die grundlegenden Unterschiede im Verständnis von Realität und beleuchtet die heidnischen Wurzeln des Einheitsdenkens sowie dessen Einfluss auf die moderne Gesellschaft. Jones argumentiert, dass dieses Denken keine echte Rettung oder Verbesserung der Welt bieten kann und plädiert für ein Umdenken hin zu einer klaren Unterscheidung zwischen Schöpfung und Schöpfer.

Donald Fagen will forever be associated with Steely Dan, the band he formed with Walter Becker and four other musicians in 1972. The smooth, radio-friendly veneer of the duo's songs made Steely Dan internationally popular and famous in the 1970s, but the polish glossed over the underlying layers of anger, disappointment, sleaze, and often downright weirdness lurking just beneath the surface. The elliptical lyrics were--and continue to be--an endless source of fascination. What kind of person was capable of writing such songs? Fagen has always kept his true self hidden behind walls of irony, confounding most journalistic enquiries with a mixture of obscurity and sarcasm. Nightfly cracks open the door to reveal the life behind the lyrics and traces Fagen's story from early family life in suburban New Jersey, to his first encounter with Walter Becker at Bard College, their long struggle for recognition as songwriters, and the formation of Steely Dan. The band's break-up in 1981, reformation in 1993, and Fagen's parallel solo career are covered in detail.
