I have heard of this series and the TV show of the same name, but never knew anything at all about the story.Thank you Mae. Vernon’s fame as the DJ ‘turntablist’ is spreading far and wide, but they keep the convergences discrete. Als Erstes kurz zu mir: ich bin Französin und schlimmer, Pariserin. Personally, I wasn’t sure about the coda, which is creatively daring – although I appreciated what Despentes is trying to do in it – I won’t say more, I’ll leave that for you should you read these books.See also what Tony of Tony’s Reading List thought of it Thank you for the fascinating review.
La première partie de Vernon Subutex dégageait une réelle poésie urbaine et, à mon sens, son final ouvert ne méritait pas d'être complété. The one thing missing for me was more exploration of the work of Alex Bleach, but he was dead at the start and Despentes rarely looks back for more than fleeting glimpses of the past, the books live almost wholly in the present.

J'adore Despentes, mais ce bouquin ci ne m'a pas marqué plus que ça. Please try againSorry, we failed to record your vote. Drôlerie, sens de la formule et collision des niveaux de langage se mêlent pour rendre Vernon irrésistible. One line that struck me was thought was Stéphanie, a friend of Marie-Ange whose husband Xavier was part of Vernon’s group. Virginie Despentes conclue magistralement l'histoire de Vernon Subutex, toujours dans un style qui lui est propre, et que j'apprécie particulièrement, j'aime beaucoup la franchise de son propos, et sa vision réaliste et acerbe du monde actuel.
