Découvrez une captivante trilogie mettant en scène un héros envoûtant

Vernon Subutex, ancien disquaire, est en train de vivre sa propre descente aux enfers. Il vient de perdre son ami et star de la musique, Alex Bleach. Celui-ci payait aussi ses loyers depuis quelques mois. Vernon se retrouve à la rue, dans un Paris désenchanté : il n'a plus rien. Il fait alors appel à d'anciennes connaissances sans leur avouer la triste vérité. Comment Vernon va-t-il s'en sortir ? Au fil de l'écoute, vous allez découvrir des personnages qui sont le reflet d'une société parfois cruelle.

Avec Vernon Subutex 1, Virginie Despentes dévoile le premier tome d'une trilogie addictive. La voix rauque de Jacques Frantz vous plonge dans l'univers rock'n'roll des eighties. Les portraits dressés des nombreux protagonistes vous sont familiers. Ils vous rappellent un ami, un proche ou une connaissance. Ce roman contemporain au format livre audio vous fera passer un agréable moment.

Summary

QUI EST VERNON SUBUTEX ? Une légende urbaine. Un ange déchu. Un disparu qui ne cesse de ressurgir. Le détenteur d'un secret. Le dernier témoin d'un monde révolu. L'ultime visage de notre comédie inhumaine. Notre fantôme à tous.

Le retour en beauté de Virginie Despentes, avec le premier tome d’une trilogie addictive. À la fois caustique et jubilatoire, une plongée sans complaisance mais nostalgique dans l'univers rock'n roll des eighties.

Boring / gross - total waste of time

It started off well - a perfectly normal poor bloke losing his job and ending up homeless. I was really getting into it when suddenly it just turned into a patchwork of foul-mouthed sexed-up social-network-addicted Paris-city-dwellers lives. BORING! If you like listening to a constant stream of gross language then go for it. I can't understand what all the hype is about with this series. Maybe it's 'modern literature but I want my money back.

Sublime!

The best novel I've read in years! Looking forward to the second novel in this trilogy. Virginie Despentes is one of France's really great authors. The french reader does a fantastic job to.
