Thirtysomething Gabriel is in romantic transition from Jenny to Anne, while at his job as a literary editor much of his time and emotional energy is spent on his slightly older friend Adrien, a formerly “promising” novelist whose recent output fails to match the critical and commercial success of his earlier work.
