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

My novel that had the greatest impact, I owe it in some way to you. It is a journey through the Greek language, where I use as a compass the mysterious letter Epsilon that hung above the entrance of the temple of Delphi. The wandering ends at the alphabet book 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 heard 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 thought that I had lived all these years away from my shadow. I hurried to the hotel where the award ceremony would take place and where my publisher was waiting for me. I regret that you never met.
- I would have preferred you had met, I confessed to him once.
- But I know her from your books! he replied.
