第一章 早晨································································16
這一切都是商品，也都有其涵蓋的地理與時間、供給與需求，以及原料、市場力與人的故事。而這些人有姓名、有痛苦、有薪水、有幻想、有父母，也有迴憶。

任何事物的核心都是由歷史編織而成，其間蘊藏著他的故事；就某種意義上來説，歷史形成事物本身的主要背景：衹要迴首前塵，就能瞭解事物的本質。

第三章 工作································································110
在作業現場的環境下，每個人都有顯得異常脆弱或毫無防衛能力。光缐品質和工作性質毫不留情，工人膚程白蠟、漿糊或麵糰似的蒼白色，並齣現蛛絲狀血管、乾癬、粉刺、皺紋、紅斑、鬆垂等各種毛病。

第四章 神物·······························································168
未必非得巫醫纔能把物化爲物神，人人心中都有巫醫，一個與人性共存的腺粒體巫醫，一種必然性，一種與生俱來的權力。沒有物神的世界，仿佛是沒有記憶、沒有語言或意義的世界，不適於人類居住，是個沒有大氣的世界。

湖泊迅速褪去藍光，籠上灰土色，顯得暗沉無光。眾鳥歸飛急。男人傢鬆瞭領帶，女人傢換過鞋子。店傢把【打烊】的告示翻嚮外，絞起遮日棚，未售齣的物品好似空氣一般，耐心地待在架子上。
