L’homme qui pleure de rire

Octave Parango worked in advertising in the 1990s and in fashion in the 2000s. He is now a comedian with a weekly slot on the country’s biggest public radio station. Closing the Octave Parango trilogy on contemporary alienations, after the tyranny of advertising and the commodification of female beauty, Frédéric Beigbeder takes aim at the dictatorship of laughter, in a gleeful satire of our entertainment society.
