«Manuel de savoir-vivre à l'usage des rustres et des malpolis» is Pierre Desproges's humorous manual, in paperback (151 pages, in French).
A satire of etiquette manuals in which Desproges applies good manners to delicate situations: distinguishing love from services, provoking a civil war politely, ageing without being a nuisance, or committing suicide without vulgarity. An exercise in irony and poetic cynicism with impeccable style.
Part of the Points Virgule collection (no. 1), published by Seuil in 1981 in French.
Recommended for readers of French satirical humour and for those who appreciate irony and elegant cynicism in literature.
