"I Will Forget You Every Day" was released in 2005. It was preceded by the French edition, which was nominated for the Goncourt Prize.

I owe my most successful novel to you in a way. It is a journey through the Greek language, where I use the mysterious letter Epsilon that hung above the entrance of the Delphi temple as my compass. The wandering leads to the alphabet you used to teach me to read when I was three years old. It won a not insignificant prize in France. I was in Athens when I learned the news and immediately left for Paris. As we approached Orly, I looked out the window at the shadow of the plane crossing the fields. I had the thought that I had lived all these years away from my shadow. I went straight to the hotel where the award ceremony would take place and where my publisher was waiting for me. I'm sorry you never met.
