SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL 2018 WHO IS VERNON SUBUTEX? An urban legend. A fall from grace. The mirror who reflects us all. Vernon Subutex was once the proprietor of Revolver, an infamous music shop in Bastille. His legend spread throughout Paris. But by the 2000s his shop is struggling. With his savings gone, his unemployment benefit cut, and the friend who had been covering his rent suddenly dead, Vernon Subutex finds himself down and out on the Paris streets. He has one final card up his sleeve. Even as he holds out his hand to beg for the first time, a throwaway comment he once made on Facebook is taking the internet by storm. Vernon does not realise this, but the word is out: Vernon Subutex has in his possession the last filmed recordings of Alex Bleach, the famous musician and Vernon's benefactor, who has only just died of a drug overdose. A crowd of people from record producers to online trolls and porn stars are now on Vernon's trail. Translated from the French by Frank Wynne

Apocalypse Bebe (French Edition)

Valentine disparue... Qui la cherche vraiment ?Entre satire sociale, polar contemporain et romance lesbienne, le nouveau roman de Virginie Despentes est un road-book qui promène le lecteur entre Paris et Barcelone, sur les traces de tous ceux qui ont connu Valentine, l'adolescente égarée... Les différents personnages se croisent sans forcément se recontrer, et finissent par composer, sur ton ton tendre et puissant, le portrait d'une époque.

<p>On retrouve Vernon, toujours SDF, et mal en point. L ancien disquaire est déconnecté du monde réel, sans ambition ni projets. Il apprend à vivre dans la rue, au côté de Charles, un poivrot collant. Les anciens amis de Vernon continue de le traquer comme il possède l interview inédite du rockeur Alex Bleach, enregistrée peu avant sa mort. Une formidable suite après un premier tome salué par une presse unanime et plusieurs fois primé. Un livre de combat porté tout à la fois par une capacité d indignation inentamée et une empathie époustouflante - et tout sauf aimable. Nathalie Crom, Télérama. Virginie Despentes dévoile sans complaisance notre temps en nous offrant un antidote possible.</p>
