He's a fantastic author, but beware: most of his books say… nothing? It's about someone, possibly a man, to whom something happened. And he meets someone he used to love at the time. Not sure he still love her. She looks more beautiful now. That's it: I just spoiled the entire plot, in every detail. And there's a house, too. Looks smaller now. I believe that makes it easier to translate (I read them in the original French) but the absolute lack of detail, story line, makes it incredibly either relatable (if you are in that mindset) or frustrating (Whyyy?! Why did she leave him? Or he left? Did he? You can't tell.) I love it - but beware, it's very tacit.
