SeattleUte has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Default Terrific novel by a Frenchman

This novel gets SeatleUte book club's seal of approval. Buy it, read it, then let's discuss.

http://www.amazon.com/Platform-Vinta...e=UTF8&s=books

Here is James Wood's review of the author's career (Warning: spoiler):

He's not as taken with him as I am, but I'm not alone. "Platform" and its sibling works have been international sensations. A great look into the mind of a Frenchman.

You could probably buy it on some Amazon site. It was originally written in French, of course.
