I'm twenty-four and whoever wants to say these are the best years of my life can go right ahead. If I ever get old one day, I'll be able to tell children I was born in the nineteen eighties, a time when there were no cell phones, no internet and smoking was normal. My generation will be one of the last to have seen those days. Kids will think I'm really old.
From the blasé students at the university where he teaches to the movie theaters where he learns what love should really be, the narrator, a professor of economy, presents himself as an edgy, prickly, unbiased observer of the world around him. Although many claim to understand the laws that regulate love and economy, he firmly believes that neither can ever be truly mastered. Too shy, too often disappointed, he is fast on the road to becoming a loner.
But, there is that girl at the photo shop... maybe she could teach him the algorithms of the heart?
