This is an automatically translated description

After being arrested for cocaine use, Begbeder is taken to a police station, where he promises himself to write a book the very first night to overcome his claustrophobia. He begins to recall the origins of his family, the meeting of his parents and their quick divorce, his life with his mother and father. Soon after, he is transferred to the prefecture by the Parisian prosecutor, and on the second night, Begbeder is saved by remembering his own divorce, his relationship with his daughter Chloe, rethinking his life, and leaving prison a changed man. This autobiographical novel, which won the Renodo Prize for Literature, is considered to be perhaps the author's best work.
