In 'Holiday in a Coma', Marc Marronier is invited by his old friend, an American DJ, to the opening of a new nightclub called The Shitter (a satirical take on the famous Paris nightclub, Les Bains Douche). Taking place over a single unforgettable night, the novel documents everything from the pit-bull bouncer on the door to the drugs, cocktails, and wannabes who frequent the club. Marc has set his sights on seducing a catwalk model -- any one will do -- and is trying to keep a clear head while all around are paying good money to lose theirs. A catalog of degeneracy, drugs, sex and decibels, 'Holiday in a Coma' is written with a fury and passion that reflect the author's own relationship with a world and he both loves and loathes.
