A tormented writer gets through his nights by revisiting travels and old love affairs and inventing alter egos with lives as chaotic as his. He means to see his mother, alone in Provence and nearly ninety, but must finish a book first; she tells him to stop faxing his many lovers and publish, or people will assume he is dead.
