We all agree. We're all moving in the same direction. United against the coronavirus. Solidarity of a humanity trembling in the face of a so-called unprecedented epidemic. We are at war with the coronavirus. With masks and bottles of hydro-alcoholic gel, and thanks to the heroism of our doctors, we will win. Amen to that! The world will never be the same again. 1TP5Neveragain! Hurrah! Humanity is rising up in an unprecedented surge of awareness. Let's protect ourselves, let's protect our loved ones! Let's all join hands - err... no, sorry! Let's keep a distance of one meter and banish all physical contact... - to erect a barrier against the great Satan who is advancing to kill us.
La lente installation d'une tyrannie du brun.
Technology, totalitarianism and freedom
According to sociologist Michel Maffesoli, who spoke on the March 9 edition of «Face à l'info», we find ourselves at the crossroads of two eras: a time of quantity may be returning to a time of quality. If so, perhaps the 21st century will be that of the novel, which alone is capable of expressing unquantifiable truths. In many respects, and perhaps surprisingly, «99 francs», Frédéric Beigbeder's novel denouncing the tyranny of advertising and inaugurating the trilogy featuring Octave Parango, can be read according to this very conception of the novel - that of Milan Kundera.
On the occasion of the presentation of the final part of his trilogy devoted to Octave Parango, Frédéric Beigbeder takes us on a journey in the footsteps of this literary double, sharing his criticism of the dictatorship of laughter and his passion for the novel.
