*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2019*

This is a story of two people, one dead and one alive, and how the dead one can instigate more interest, conniving, and wasted mental activity than the live one. It is a story where seeing your name on a book can be vastly more important to an author than its actual contents. It is a story where power, particularly of the social kind, is exposed as what it really is, namely a willingness to “smile” in the presence of those person(s) higher in the hierarchy than yourself. Displays of generosity are equated with affirmations of power.Within this story, there is expressed a longing for the past anarchy of social media, which at the time had an uncertainty about where it was going to evolve. This uncertainty served as a catharsis for those who wanted to flee from the anxiety of a mundane and policy-driven existence. This is to be contrasted with what is available today: that of high-amplitude name-calling and gnashing of teeth.Within this story, this powerful social commentary, il n'y a pas d'amour, mais tout le monde baise, baise et baise. Stilettos are viewed as perfume for the sole, as a pheromone for women, whose strength is directional proportional to the length of the heel and serve as proof of courage of those who wear them to stroll in places typically occupied by creeps and other forms of human/vermin combinations. Pornography abounds, and even suggestions on how to write a guide to pornography for children, with the goal of teaching them how to deal with its contents, which they are exposed to “even before they read”. This is kind of like passing out condoms to teenagers with the “realistic” expectation that they are going to have sex regardless of social mores or moralistic imperatives from their parents. Female porn stars are supposed to feel pride in being the best there is in the business, whereas male porn stars are doing what is “normal” for men. But female porn stars are to be distinguished from prostitutes, the latter of which are “lion tamers”, and who are to follow an alteration of the Nietzschean exhortation that “when you go to clients, do not forget the whip!”The “hyper-instability” of the financial markets is acknowledged accurately and unashamedly. Vernon (the “live” one) faces a Baumanian liquid life as everyone else does, but a different viscosity assigned to each, which prevents some of them from bouncing off the walls of their self-made purgatories, as they would otherwise. The “bumbling CEO” appears also, with the their typical paucity of brain power, which is to be contrasted with the real financial doers, i.e. the innovators who really create the wealth, and who expose without intent the CEO as nothing more than a tramp on a mountain (a mountain piled up with false, imputed achievements, and its slopes full of climbers desperately attempting to reach its summit, without knowing that this is a position of unstable equilibrium, the slightest perturbation of which will result in a Sisyphean realization beyond their control). Street protests are ineffective in influencing markets; the protestors are effectively blowhards, unaware that “all is one and dusted”. Algorithms now rule the financial markets: survival of the fittest applies to software code, not people. Immigrants, viewed as alien lifeforms, are slapped in the face by an absentee meritocracy which they thought was real.Vernon sleeps with trannies, and makes nothing of it, but he feels obligated to characterize the tranny as “beautiful” and “classy”. Beauty, whether possessed by a tranny or not, is a characteristic that must be pointed out. It is looks that matters, not character or intellectual prowess. There is a large variance in attitudes displayed towards street beggars. The gait speed of a passerby is taken as an objective measure of their fear of occupying or competing with Vernon’s space (but never questioning their assumption that their current status is in fact better than his).But eviction from an apartment and finding yourself as a beggar in the street is one thing, and of course traumatic; but choosing consciously to evict your personal integrity is another. Better to be a bum on a hill because of events beyond your control than to be a bum on a hill of detritus resulting from excising your moral conviction, or from exercising unbridled sycophancy to the “monotheistic cult of money” and plutocracy so prevalent in the modern condition.

    My book of the year 2018
  

*by P***SS on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2019*

To me it is really impressive how the author manages to show all these different perspectives and draws a very current portrait of Europe in the 21st century.

Balzac meets punk rock. A slice through the social world of Paris (or any big city) and the compromises and self-deceptions people make to get by.
