Conversations with Marcel

Conversations With Marcel, the novella at the source of our drama, is the sustained conversation of two young men in 1970s Europe. From cafe to cafe and from love to love the two friends try to sort out a set of values and commitments for a fully modern life.

The story of the abandoned wife Anna with her two sons growing up, superimposes itself upon the Conversations... a short novella found within the story of a family left without a father. Our story begins when the abandoned wife discovers the now popular novella and asks the publisher about the whereabouts of the author, her missing husband, and the possibility of receiving royalties.

Several unusual twists, and the son's final decision to look for the father as he reaches manhood, move the story along. The search, quest and finally resolution occur when the two meet again.
