Alone in his room with a typewriter, Alan Bland tries to come to terms with the death of his best friend, referred as X, by writing non-stop for six days and six nights a novel about his friendship and his love for the mysterious Amara.

Alan writes about his love triangle story and reflects on a dark secret kept away from him by the two others and its appalling consequences.

At the end of his marathon d'Ecriture, which, like the marathon du Sahara lasts six days and six nights, Alan, starving and half-dead reveals the startling truth about X in a prose becoming increasingly unhinged.
