This highly unusual novel by a French writer takes place between 8:30 AM and 10:29 AM on September 11, 2001. Set at Windows on the World, the famous World Trade Center restaurant, it relates the experience of a man who has brought his two young sons there for breakfast. His narrative is paralleled with another, in the author's voice, providing commentary not only on the attack but on many other things. Frederic Beigbeder's novel was a best-seller in France.
