Florence doesn't like writers, books, dogs, alcohol, old people, pleasure, or love, only her partner Zeno - though she'd never admit it. The two of them run an Internet business that puts lesser known writers and artists back in the limelight. Zeno sends Florence to find his favourite author, the mysterious Pierre Laliberté, in this novel of literature and the people who create it.
