Plot summary

The book is constituted of only one huge sentence telling the story of a young man killed by watchmen in a supermarket because he drank one can of beer without paying for it. It is based on a real story which happened in Lyon in December 2009.[2][3]

It is told as a monologue by a narrator whose identity is not explained but who tell the reader that he knew the dead man and his brother.[4]
