About this work & edition details

When Pierre Anthon walks out of his seventh-grade classroom and climbs a plum tree, he declares that nothing matters. His classmates set out to prove him wrong by building a heap of objects that carry personal meaning. What begins with ordinary possessions becomes a cycle of retaliation as each student chooses the next sacrifice and the demands grow more intimate and severe. Narrated by Agnes, the novel follows the group as their attempt to demonstrate meaning attracts public attention and forces them to confront the cost of their own argument.
