Deu anys després de la mort del seu pare, el narrador d'aquest llibre decideix escriure-la. Amb l'ombra del suïcidi que priva el dol, es pregunta: és possible trobar les paraules d'un comiat que no es va produir? Així, aquest relat personal i íntim esdevé una recerca per entendre com es forgen els vincles familiars, a què condemna el silenci, on s'amaga la veritat d'una història. Però l'escriptura falla, i l'autor recorre a les biografies d'escriptors que es van suïcidar i a les seves darreres notes per reconstruir un adeu possible, temptatiu.
