Description
Vernon Subutex One by Virginie Despentes is a gripping novel about an urban legend who finds himself down and out on the streets of Paris. After losing his savings, unemployment benefit, and friend, Vernon's life begins to unravel. However, he has one final card up his sleeve - a throwaway comment from years ago that takes the internet by storm. A crowd of people, from record producers to online trolls, are now on Vernon's trail, all eager to get their hands on the last filmed recordings of Alex Bleach, a famous musician who has just died. As Vernon navigates this new reality, he must confront his past and the harsh realities of poverty and homelessness. Translated from the French by Frank Wynne, this novel is a thrilling and audacious portrayal of life on the margins.
