Not a day

Pas a day is a novel of Anne F. Garréta published in 2002.

Summary

This autobiographical novel tells twelve memories in love, following constraints exposed in the introduction (the author is member of the Oulipo). The proverb of Stendhal, " not a day without a ligne" , is taken again while implying in this " case; not a day without a femme".

Each night is devoted to a woman whom she loved (with the exception of I, in central place, devoted to its American car). The chapters are placed according to the alphabetical order, but while indicating the chronological order of the nights.
