À dire vrai il n'est pas question de Pékin dans ce roman, et d'automne guère plus - mais seulement d'un homme qui, ayant raté son autobus, se retrouve à construire des voies de chemin de fer en plein désert.

Flirtant avec l'absurde de façon aussi drôle que poignante, ce roman est enchanté par la lecture magistrale de Denis Lavant.
