Full description for The Discreet Pleasures of Rejection

• Another mordantly hysterical tale from the author of the cult favorite "How I Became Stupid" A funny yet poignant tour of one young man's existential crisis, "The Discreet Pleasures of Rejection" is another short novel from France's Martin Page. Virgil comes home from work one day to a message on his answering machine-his girlfriend is breaking up with him. This news should be devastating, but instead it's deeply troubling, because Virgil doesn't know the woman and doesn't have any memory of being in a relationship with her. The event sends Virgile into a tailspin of unrelenting self-analysis, causing him to question his memory, his sanity, even his worth as a lover. The seamless translation by Bruce Benderson perfectly captures Page's delicate, witty style, bringing this audacious gem of a novel to English-speaking audiences.
