false 3465543 2 In this improbable love story, Toussaint creates a character who is obsessed with himself: how he does things and all the ways he might have done them, how he thinks, why he thinks the way that he thinks, how he might do or think otherwise. What happens? He takes driving lessons, goes grocery shopping, spends endless hours with an <i>adorable</i> employee of the driving school he attends. And though he is aloof, though caught up in his own actions and in the movement of his own thoughts—he somehow emerges as surprisingly insightful and also very funny. In Toussaint's touching novel, we come to know this character intimately and yet know almost nothing about him. These two extremes, existing together, are at the heart of Toussaint's remarkable style. 3506843 2005 Camera (French Literature) total:52|5:8|4:17|3:22|2:5|1:0| 52 184 113 11 5 2 false false Fri Oct 17 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Nov 04 12:51:33 -0800 2008 Fri Apr 17 15:51:22 -0700 2009
