Jacques Papier has an existential crisis when he realizes he's imaginary. He sets off on a quest for the meaning of life, identity, and freedom. While the action is weighed down by similes and self-esteem aphorisms, this sophisticated faux memoir is a nuanced portrait of friendship that is full of smart and funny meta moments. Whimsical line drawings dot the pages.
