Pons is an ageing musician, and believes that fame has fallen to nothing.
Living with his friend, he maintains only two passions: a devotion to fine dining in the company relatives, and a dedication to the collection of antiques.
This novel concerns French urban society: a cynical, pessimistic but never despairing consideration of human nature.
