The spring of 1989.

Noa, Joyce and the narrator, soon to celebrate their twenties, leave their homeland to embark on a long and exciting journey to the metropolis. In Montreal, they try to rebuild their lives despite the mistakes of their youth, the contradictions of love and their family trees. They think they are alone; however, their trajectories unexpectedly intersect, creating a strange symmetry in their lives.

Nicolas Dickner loves experimentation: mixing narrative and vivid imagery with a thoroughness that sometimes borders on the obsession of a zoologist obsessed with exotic names. In Nikolski, he combines with sly pleasure archaeologists investigating waste, flibusters of all stripes, sea serpents, tuna, earthquake victims, a second-hand book dealer, an illiterate diver, countless post offices, and a mysterious book without a cover in one story.
