Only after his friend dies in vain does Ferguson realize that the friend who passed away was a friend of the soul. Thus, to honor the dead friend and to soothe the pain of loss, he writes a novel in the novel, that is, a framed novel. (Paul Oster <4 3 2 1>)

The names of "soul mates" are Hank and Frank. Hank and Frank were born as a pair of shoes, and they are "sole mates." They were rejected several times because they were made of whole leather and were as rugged as military boots. As the shoes were as big as 33 centimeters in size, the owner of the shoes Hank and Frank were sold after a long time.

Quayne is a giant. So while the impact his feet have on Hank and Frank in tracking down criminals is truly enormous, both footy friends are willing to sacrifice themselves to protect their owners' feet. It's a tight-knit routine that sometimes requires night-time incubation, but there are also fun times when the routine is over.

For example, this is the case when detective Quayne meets his lover. The name of the lover is Alice. The names of Alice's pair of shoes are Flora and Nora. Hank and Frank are heavy leather shoes like tanks, but Flora and Nora are sharp shoes. They are a pair of pretty heels made of red spindles. Hank and Frank have a good time with Flora and Nora until the next morning comes after detective Quayne gets on the bedside of their lover.

The owner's feet became as close as the two shoes and felt more comfortable than any other shoes he had ever known when Hank and Frank were sold for three years. Ellis, on the other hand, was happy by buying Quayne new clothes as if he were dressing her doll. The problem was that the sleek new suit and the old three-year-old shoes didn't go together. Hank and Frank were eventually kicked out of the shoe cabinet. Hank and Frank, who spent their later years missing the feeling of Quayne's two feet sliding into their bodies, were eventually thrown into an incinerator and disappeared like smoke.

The principal of Ferguson's middle school read the novel written by Ferguson and called Ferguson to severely condemn the disturbing and lewdness of the novel. Ferguson then said that the shoes represent black slaves. He protested that the shoes burned in the incinerator represent the Jews.

Paul Oster wrote a masterpiece called "4 3 2 1", which solves the shameful history of dark subjects that many writers are willing to turn away from, the assassination of Kennedy and Martin Luther, and the Korean War's invasion of Vietnam, in exquisite parallel with the love story of adolescence. The fact that Paul Oster was from a Jewish background is not irrelevant. The Ukraine War and the Palestinian War are also not irrelevant to the dark history of European persecution and massacre.
