Every story should have a beginning, a middle and an end, but not always in that order, said Jean Luc Godard. This novel takes place during one day and night (or not even that much!) in the life of Boris, or if you prefer, of the Writer.

It is not experimental in form, but flows classically, from beginning to end, without any deviations from the planned order, unless one takes into account the constant reflections and reminiscences regarding the things that happen around the main protagonist, which skillfully intertwine the past, the present and the future, which makes things uncertain. But what is quite certain is that this story begins and ends with the crowing of an early rooster: Cuckoo-cuckoo\u2026
