Vernon Subutex: a series soon on your screens
Vernon Subutex, record store and novel heroes
Vernon Subutex, in the novels, is one of the most famous record dealers in Paris in the 1980s. Forced to close his shop with the advent of digital technology and the record industry crisis, Vernon contacted his old friends to invite himself to their home for a while, claiming that he had rebuilt his life in Canada and was only passing through Paris. One of his friends, Alex Bleach, a rock-star on the way back, entrusts him, before dying suddenly, with three video tapes, which will bring a lot of trouble to Vernon.
Drawing portraits of many very different characters and at the antipodes of each other, Virginie Despentes recounts the ordeal of this former trader in the galley. This series of successful novels is offered a television adaptation produced by Canal + with Romain Duris in the role of the former record store owner.
Paris, Barcelona and Cannes: the hectic life of the penniless and roofless hero will take him on the roads to discover new horizons and face many dangers. A series soon on all the screens.
