An icon of nonchalance and procrastination, Vernon has been unemployed since his vinyl business went under. Now surviving with the help of an old friend who became a rock star, Vernon watches his life fall apart from the sidelines. When the generous friend suddenly dies of an overdose, he finds himself crashing at old friends’ apartments. Unbeknownst to Vernon, the internet is going wild, journalists, fans and moguls are hunting him down as they believe he is in possession of the last recorded interview of the famed musician. Virginie Despentes uses Vernon’s downfall to deliver a gallery of eccentric, unlikable and yet relatable characters, unable to forget the glory of their youths and to adapt to a fast-paced and unforgiving society. Luz , one of France’s major cartoonists and a former Charlie Hebdo contributor, was the perfect match for Virginie Despentes. They share a deep love of music, a caustic sense of humour and a flair for controversy.
