The narrative weaves a complex story of obsession and rivalry, centered around Francois Daumal, who becomes consumed by Charles Dickens' unfinished work, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. His passion for Dickens leads him to a fierce competition with the ambitious Michel Mangematin, as they both seek academic acclaim and personal fulfillment. This quest not only explores the depths of literary devotion but also delves into themes of identity, love, and the impact of obsession on one's life. The novel intricately blends reality with Dickensian elements, creating a rich tapestry of storytelling.
