Do you think this is a book about France? You're wrong! It's about our shared Old World, which is not just changing, but ... dying, snapping and whining. The new novel by Frederick Begbeder completes, or perhaps continues, the cycle about " the life and adventures of Octave Parango, whom we left somewhere in Russia... If we wrote newspaper announcements for you, you would probably see headlines like: Begbeder against the dictatorship of laughter! Begbeder about himself, us and the era when the jesters seized power. "The Man Who Cried with Laughter – is an original novel with a madwoman, which castigates the shortcomings of society. The hero and the author are like two drops of water. Octave Parango confesses without sparing himself, draw your own conclusions! He worked in advertising in the 1990s, in High Fashion in the 2000s, and is now a comedian-columnist on the largest nationwide state radio station at 8: 55 am every Thursday. Begbeder is back, and his doppelganger describes the realities of a media world that laughs at the still-hot ashes of journalistic ethics. One day, Octave comes to the morning broadcast unprepared, and the bad student is banished from the media paradise. Frederick Begbeder tells the story of his life... through the new adventures of Octave Parango – a convinced playboy who changed it not even overnight, but in a split second. Alcohol, drugs and sex seem to form the basis of the life of Octave Parango, a regular comedian of Radio France Publique. But the usual way of the world is attacked by ... yellow Vests. Just one night spent in search of self-destructive pleasures puts everything in its place, and it turns out that the main thing is the first words and the first steps of the son, the laughter of the daughter (which makes you want to laugh) and the embrace of his wife in a world far from shocks, in the house where he is expected.
