«L'homme qui pleure de rire» is the satirical novel by Frédéric Beigbeder, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (312 pages, in French).
Octave Parango, the writer's alter ego, was an advertising copywriter in the nineties and a model scout in the 2000s; now he discovers a new trade in the 2010s. A hilarious and desperate satire based on real experiences, it denounces the excesses of the spectacle society and closes the trilogy starring his double.
Third installment of the Octave Parango trilogy, which began with '99 francs' and continued with 'Au secours pardon'. The work was originally published in 2020.
For readers of contemporary French fiction looking for an acid satire on advertising, fame and spectacle.
