Binding: Paperback
Description: Paris may burn the world may crumble but Vernon Subutex shall reign supreme! The final installment of writer/filmmaker Virginie Despentes's Man Booker International Prize shortlisted punk - rock trilogy. The basis for the TV series of the same name available on streaming. As storm clouds gather portending a final reckoning ersatz rave - cult leader Vernon Subutex decides to return to Paris. Even if it means leaving behind his disciples. He has to. He's got a dentist's appointment. Back in the city he learns that an old friend from his days homeless on the Paris streets has died and left him half of a lottery win. But when Vernon returns to his commune with news of this windfall it's not long before his disciples turn on each other. Such good fortune does not accord with the principles Vernon has handed down. Meanwhile the monstrous film producer Laurent Dopalet is determined to make A cha and C leste pay for their attack on him whatever it takes and whoever gets hurt. And before long the whole of Paris will be reeling in the wake of the terrorist atrocities of 2015 and 2016, and all the characters in this kaleidoscopic portrait of a city and era will be forced to confront one another one last time. In the wake of all this chaos and hate the question will rise again: After all he's been through who is Vernon Subutex? And the answer: He is the future. Virginie Despentes's epochal trilogy ends with Vernon Subutex 3 in fire blood and even forgiveness. But not everyone will survive to see the dawning of the golden age of Subutex.
