Denis Robert has invented a city. He has imagined the landscape. He has invented the buildings, houses, neighborhoods, factories, shops, cafés, and many other things. He has peopled the place with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants among whom he has chosen thirty men and women as the heroes of his novel. They are of all ages and conditions. They are hungry for love, well-being, money, power, sex, pleasure, tenderness. Since things do not always go as they wish, they suffer, cry out, grow furious, cheat, lie, betray, and hate. Sometimes they even kill. Like everyone.That morning, a bomber flew over the city, and 500,000 people simultaneously looked up at the sky. Living in a city means doing the same thing at the same time as everyone else. Or almost. For what is there in common between a bartender killed by a crossbow, workers threatened with dismissal, a declining athlete, a disenchanted cop, a judge obsessed with telephone taps, a depressive female journalist, a perverted banker, an indomitable woman worker, a regional boss in love, satanic adolescents, a political leader on the verge of being investigated, and a photographer who still believes in the revolution? They are unique. Like everyone. For a week, Denis Robert brings them to life before our eyes.
