Synopsis

Octave Parango, a cynical advertising executive, navigates the shallow world of consumerism and marketing in 2000s Paris. He's tasked with launching a new yogurt brand, a job he despises, while simultaneously dealing with his own existential dread and a desperate search for meaning. This satirical novel offers a sharp critique of modern society and the emptiness of chasing material success.
