Drifting through the days in a provincial city, he thoughtlessly starts a fire in his apartment, attends confession, and examines, with great intentness but without affection, a naked woman he wakes beside. And, as Besson moves through an ugly and threatening rain, his thoughts eventually lead to violence, first turned outward and then directed languidly against himself" - SIGNED & DATED "2010" BY THE AUTHOR @ A RECENT LONDON EVENT - Pictures available upon request.
