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\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 306\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.76 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 02, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52566949331251,"sku":"9780007229031","price":30.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/D2L58wg75t9780007229031.webp?v=1761313972","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/holiday-in-a-coma-love-lasts-three-years-two-novels-by-frederic-beigbeder-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
