520 1 $a"When the phone rang on a gloomy fall afternoon in 1990, Gregoire Bouillier had no way of knowing that it was the woman who'd left him, without warning, five years before. And he couldn't have guessed why she was calling: not to apologize for or explain the way she'd vanished from his life - but to invite him to a party. A birthday party. For a woman he'd never met." "Here is the true story of how one man got over a broken heart, learned to love again, stopped wearing turtlenecks, regained his faith in literature, participated in a work of performance art by mistake, and spent his rent money on a bottle of 1964 bordeaux that nobody ever drank. This translation marks the English-language debut of an iconoclast who has attracted one of the most passionate cult followings in French literature today."--BOOK JACKET.
