 ‘Tout s’achète: l’amour, l’art, la planète Terre, vous, moi. J’écris ce livre pour me faire virer. Si je démissionnais, je ne toucherais pas d’indemnités.’ 

  ’99 Francs (€14.99)’ by Frédéric Beigbeder.

‘99 francs (€14.99)’  is a wonderfully entertaining post-modernist reality-novel. Octave Parago is a successful advertising creative, and while everybody wants to be him (or perhaps his job?), Octave hates himself. Octave gives the reader a harsh yet hilarious criticism of the advertising industry in France and the impact advertising has on the French society.

If you speak French, you’re in for a treat!
