Description
Paul Lejeune, a married man working at the Office of Technology and Materials of the Future, sets up his young mistress, Amandine, in an apartment equipped with the latest technology. Reminiscent of Georges Perec’s Things, this humorous novel depicts the madcap world of a woman obsessed with objects and her surroundings, and celebrates the role of women in our consumer-oriented society.
