Octave Parango's last night out

With «L'Homme qui pleure de rire», the author paints a fresco of the last decade. Unflinchingly critical of what he calls «the dictatorship of laughter», Frédéric Beigbeder has penned a funny, philosophical novel set in an end-of-the-world Paris. One last nocturnal jaunt for Octave Parango.
