The Mystery Guest is Bouillier's true account of what happened when the love of his life, who, without any warning, literally walked out on him five years prior, calls him out of the blue and invites him to be the "mystery guest" at a birthday party for an artist he's never met, where he ends up (unknowingly) participating in an uncomfortably personal piece of performance art. Like Leiris, Bouillier revisits past humiliations in search of the secret, fairy-tale logic that governs his inner life. In The Mystery Guest the humiliation begins with a phone call from his ex-girlfriend, the great love of Bouillier’s youth, who had left him abruptly ten years before.
