Memories of an Unbalanced Young Man

Frédéric Beigbeder is considered one of the most interesting contemporary writers in France. He is also a novelist, essayist, literary critic, editor, screenwriter, actor, and director.

In the novel «Memories of an Unbalanced Young Man» the reader is presented with a sarcastic, cynical, and to some extent even cruel young Frenchman who enjoys loud parties, alcohol, drugs, and sex. Marc Marronnier, as the young man is called, generously indulges in the pleasures that life offers him. In his work, Frédéric Beigbeder creates in the character his own literary alter ego and does not pay attention to any conventions. Only a thoughtful reader will try to guess and understand who is really hiding behind this flamboyant image.
