Leo Gursky is a man who fell in love at the age of ten and has been in love ever since. These days he is just about surviving life in America, tapping his radiator each evening to let his upstairs neighbour know he's still alive, drawing attention to himself at the milk counter of Starbucks.

These days he assumes that the book, and his dreams, are irretrievably lost, until one day they return to him in a brown envelope...
