True literature cannot be purified or censored. The best books are often obscene, disgusting, offensive. They expose what society diligently hides, reveal the dark sides of human nature, show the beautiful on the verge of the disgusting. Good books explore boundaries, go beyond and break taboos. But above all, they interfere in what does not concern them.
In this book, Frederic Beigbeder creates his own literary pantheon of fifty of the main books of his life. Here, next to Philip Roth, you can meet Simone de Beauvoir, and next to Thomas Mann, Andrey Kurkov. This is not just another top of the best books, it is a true manifesto of literature in its brightest and darkest form at the same time.
