Synopsis of Il ne s'est rien passé

«Il ne s'est rien passé» is the short story collection by Pascal Lainé, published by Fayard in paperback (213 pages, in French).

The narrator of these stories defines himself as a selfish, cynical man, deliberately «sexually incorrect» in his relationships with women. With irony and provocation, he turns every encounter into a small act of personal revolution; an acid look at everyday life and social conventions.

For readers of contemporary French literature looking for ironic, cynical and provocative stories.
