Unforgiving towards what he calls \u00abthe dictatorship of laughter\u00bb, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Beigbeder has written a funny, philosophical novel set in a Paris that looks like the end of the world. One last nocturnal jaunt for Octave Parango. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more Lire la critique (en libre acc\u00e8s)-->\n\n\n\n<p>An emoji, <em>The man who cries with laughter<\/em>, as its only cover. This book by Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Beigbeder was a curious find. Intrigued, and having never read anything by this author, I bought it in my usual bookshop. You've got to have quite a sense of humor, I thought, to put a smiley face as the only title. It reminds me of a scene from the series <em>Mr. Robot<\/em> in which the protagonist sees that people on the subway have had their faces replaced by emojis. The final part of his Octave Parango trilogy, after <em>99 francs <\/em>and <em>Help, I'm sorry<\/em>, <em>The man who cries with laughter<\/em> takes the reader on a final Parisian evening with the hero. We'll stroll along the Champs-Elys\u00e9es, get drunk at Fouquet's, \u00abSarko's restaurant\u00bb, take part in a \u2019fluorescent vest\u00ab demonstration, see a <em>show<\/em> at Crazy Horse, or party at Raspoutine. If you get lost along the way, a map at the beginning of the novel will help you find us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u00abMy name is Octave Parango and I'll be seventy-four in twenty years.\u00bb <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The carousel of memories <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After the advertising world and his Russian escape, Octave has grown old. He's back in France, and has turned humor columnist on France Publique's \u00abLa Matinale\u00bb. He is \u00abFrance's most listened-to humorist\u00bb. What a surprise! But Octave is tired of playing the clown. One morning, he decides not to prepare a column. The ultimate sabotage in a world where humor has become the rule, subject to efficiency. Obviously, things don't go well for Octave, who ends up getting fired...<em> live<\/em>! The resemblance with the experience of author Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Beigbeder, who was also fired from a radio station for not having prepared a column, is not coincidental... <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"My improvised chronicle - Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Beigbeder&#039;s Billet\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Sj76bK0jUXY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Beigbeder's improvised column on France Inter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u00abSubversion today is to be the opposite of the Joker.

The book is divided into time slots, from nine in the evening\nseven in the morning. Thus, the day before, Octave wandered around\nParis, where he had a series of adventures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I read the novel, I felt caught up in a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round of the last decade, which, as it turns, makes me relive or revisit the key events of the 2010s. The Weinstein affair, decadence, the probable collapse of our societies, sexual misery and the death of desire, totalitarian humor, criticism of the heterosexual white male and feminism, the works of Houellebecq and Virginie Despentes, the \u00abgilets jaunes\u00bb, the attacks of <em>Charlie Hebdo<\/em>, Le <em>Joker<\/em> by Todd Philipps, La Ligue du LOL... The list goes on and on, and would deserve further development. But there's no time for that.

In addition to memories of friends, lovers and parties, Octave sets his discourse in dialogue with literary works, from the novel <em>The Name of the Rose <\/em>from Umberto Eco to <em>Submission <\/em>by Houellebecq and <em>American Psycho <\/em>by Bret Easton Ellis. On this subject, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Beigbeder, interviewed in our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/en\/product\/le-regard-libre-no-61\/\">edition to be published next month<\/a>, explains his love of the novel and his fascination with American authors. Stylistically, each hour is assigned a quotation. As if to inscribe it under a certain author or a particular sign, from the song <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KcjQDwkJsxs\">Le Bal des Laze<\/a> <\/em>by Michel Polnareff at <em>Joker<\/em> by Todd Philipps.
