The book is a non-chronological account of several anecdotes about the author's life living with his father.
The book's title is not a question, and Louis addresses the list of those he considers responsible for the destruction of his father's body, and pending death.
Specifically, he blames French presidents Jacques Chirac, Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande, as well as Emmanuel Macron, the French president at the time of the book's publication.
