A man is writing a novel. The man bears the author's own name, and like everyone, he wants success: a publisher, a prize, money. What he has is a manuscript, a literary agent, headaches and, unfortunately, mostly unbearable fellow human beings. A game with reality and its double, and a satire of today's literary world that names real people without any disguise, told with a rhythm and ironic charm of its own.
