About the book
"Luke moves to Paris with the idea of writing a novel, but life gets in the way. He befriends a fellow expatriate, Alex, and then falls in love with Nicole. Alex meets Sahra, and the two couples form an intimacy that changes their lives. As they discover the clubs and cafes of the eleventh arrondissement, the four become inseparable, united by deeply held convictions about dating strategies, tunneling in P.O.W. films, and, crucially, the role of the Styrofoam cup in action movies. Experiencing the exhilarating highs of Ecstasy and sex, they reach a peak of rapture - the comedown from which is unexpected and devastating."--BOOK JACKET.
First sentence: When Luke came to Paris with the intention of writing a book based on his experiences of living - as he grandly and naively conceived it - 'in exile', he was twenty-six years old ('a fine age for a man,'according to Scott Fitzgerald).
