✦ Synopsis

• Fr�d�ric Beigbeder is the bad boy of French publishing. A French journalist and critic responsible for the literary section of Le Figaro Magazine, his novel 99 Francs both got him fired from his advertising job and established him as a controversial force within French literature. - In A Life Without End, Fr�d�ric, dreading his 50th birthday, goes in search of eternal life together with his 10-year-old daughter. He travels the globe to meet researchers on human longevity and tries every possible procedure to ward off death. - Fr�d�ric Beigbeder's writing style includes both humor and self-mockery. His books are full of high-low cultural references. A Life Without End combines elements of memoir, scientific research, humor, and self-help. - The research in the book is based on facts, and informative similar to The Longevity Paradox by Steven R. Gundry, Ray Kurzweil's Transcend, and Ending Aging by Audrey de Grey. For anyone interested in the current status of longevity research, while being readable like a novel. - Fr�d�ric is married to the French supermodel Lara Micheli and is frequently seen on the red carpet surrounded by celebrities and drinking champagne straight out of the bottle. - Two of his previous books were published in the US: o Manhattan's Babe, published by Assouline in 2017, is a fictionalized account of the real romance between J.D. Salinger and Oona O'Neill in the US (distributed by Two Rivers) o Windows into the World, a novel about 9/11 published in 2005 - He directed the 2011 movie based on his book Love Lasts Three Years, and the 2016 movie The Ideal - The launch party for Manhattan's Babe included American celebrities such as Glenn O'Brien, Paul Sevigny, Mario Sorrenti, Misha Nonoo, Jacquelyn Jablonski, Sean MacPherson, Andr� Balazs, and Jay McInerney . As per Beigbeder: "no French authors have ever had such a welcome in New York ... since Fran�oise Sagan," who wrote Bonjour Tristesse in the '50s.
