Description
Roger Luzac, Esquire, is an enormously successful attorney in his thirties with a life many would consider exemplary. A champion of social causes, defender of illegal immigrants, hero to the down-trodden, Luzac is the darling of the media. One day he bumps into Stéphane Mirabeau, who is leaving an antique shop with an ivory-handled corkscrew he has just purchased. A beneficiary of old family money, Stéphane directs a baroque ensemble and spends the rest of his time purchasing outrageously expensive antique knickknacks. Each young man attracted by the other’s opposite existence, the two develop a most unusual friendship which will have unforeseen results on their respective futures… This clever, uproarious novel is a brilliant social commentary.
