Stolp is a daydreamer, an eccentric and therefore a blabberer, who is in an endless free fall. He has just inherited a tiny apartment in Paris, but instead of being happy about this stroke of luck, he flees the apartment as often as he can to avoid being consumed by the unexpectedly erupting despair. In search of the "Revelations of the Trout," he meets Carmen. A love could begin, if it weren't for the tormenting memory of the separation from his wife, which was brought about in a frenzy of love. More and more, Stolp, a descendant of an aerial acrobat dynasty (as he claims), loses his grounding, and just as bravely as inevitably, this pitiable yet lovable skydiver glides into the yellow happiness of madness, in order to finally "simply disappear into the air." In Paul Nizon's new novel about a love scarred.
