Un roman Français

By Frédéric Beigbeder

Arrested for snorting cocaine off a car bonnet, award-winning author and quintessential dilettante Fr d ric Beigbeder reflects on his troubled childhood, while spending a night in police custody.

Confined to a cell, Fr d ric Beigbeder's seeks escape in his childhood memories, only to discover he can recall just one.

From this, he reconstructs both his past and that of his family; the glamour of Sixties Paris and his father's playboy life in New York, so distinct from the experiences of his soldier grandfather, whose lifespan Fr d ric has now exceeded.

His arrest all over the tabloids, Fr d ric wonders if the time has come to grow up. 'A French Novel' is a belated coming-of-age tale, profoundly tender and charmingly ironic.
