Dans la bibliothèque municipale de Chicago, ils échangèrent leurs premiers regards. Puis autour d'un café, leurs premiers mots. Il est suisse et fait des recherches sur les wagons de luxe américains. Elle est américaine, étudiante en physique, et rédige sa thèse de doctorat. Ils dînent ensemble, partent en excursion dans les forêts environnantes, se promènent au bord du lac Michigan. Un jour Agnès lui demande d'écrire son portrait. Soir après soir, il confie leur histoire à son ordinateur. Au début c'est un jeu, puis leur vie se conforme aux aléas du récit qui prend le pas sur la réalité. L'annonce de l'arrivée prochaine d'un bébé perturbe ce couple fragile, qui se sépare et qui se renoue dans le drame.

Work Description
"Peter Stamm's best-selling debut novel, Agnes, now available for the first time in the United States. "Write a story about me," Agnes said to her lover, "so I know that you think of me." So he started to write the story of everything that had happened to them from the moment they met. At first, he works with Agnes to create a narrative that is most true to life, but as time passes and he grows more enamored with the narrative he has begun, he continues writing on his own, imagining a future for them after he reaches the present. Happy couples do not necessarily make for compelling reading, and as Agnes sees the unexpected plot he has planned for her, the line between fiction and reality begins to blur. In this unforgettable and haunting novel Stamm incisively examines the power of storytelling to influence thought and behavior, reaching a chilling conclusion"--
