I've always thought it would come, naturally. When? After all my deaths? Just before, or just after, the last of the deaths."The Book turns up one day when she is no longer expecting it: "Quickly, without taking my eyes off it, I copied it down, staying scrupulously close to its notations, its rhythms, its moments of silence.

It reimagines scenes from Paris in the late sixties: its cafEs, its debates, its political turmoil. Both playful and serious, it is a book in a long line of novels from Balzac to Proust that create worlds both philosophical and concrete.
