Taking place over a single unforgettable night, the novel documents everything from the pit-bull bouncer on the door, to the drugs, cocktails and wannabes who frequent the club, and Marc's attempts to seduce a catwalk model - any one will do. A catalogue of degeneracy, drugs, sex and decibels, 'Holiday in a Coma' is written with a fury and passion that reflect the author's own relationship with a world and he both loves and loathes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 'Love Lasts Three Years', Marc Maronnier has just been divorced and - shallow opportunist that he is - has decided to write a book about it. He has a theory that love lasts no more than three years, and here - recounting the highs and lows of his marriage and taking us through brash nightclubs, vainglorious offices and soulless designer apartments - he brings to bear the theoretical and the empirical to prove his point. Both frightening and funny, the book reads like a diary: sometimes tender and real, sometimes fantastical and cruel, peppered with Beigbeder's acerbic one-liners and trademark wit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frédéric Beigbeder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.76d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780007229031\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43093274361971,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_f804efb0-8589-4b44-9a90-6603d33e86b4.jpg?v=1748525691","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/holiday-in-a-coma-love-lasts-three-years-two-novels-by-frzsdzsric-beigbeder-9780007229031","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
