«Socorro, perdón» is the novel by Frédéric Beigbeder, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Octave Parango, the quirky adman from «13,99 euros», reappears settled in modern Moscow as a talent scout for a major cosmetics firm. His mission is to find the most beautiful women in the world in a city of traffic jams, luxury boutiques and oligarchs. Beigbeder alternates acid humour with a chronicle of the body, beauty, sex, money and globalisation, and also of the love Octave feels for Lena, a fourteen-year-old girl. The work is part of a series featuring this antihero, though it works as a standalone story.
It is the second instalment of the Octave Parango series, after «13,99 euros», and number 699 in the Panorama de narrativas collection. Translation by Jaime Zulaika.
Recommended for readers of contemporary fiction with a critical, corrosive sense of humour, in the vein of current French narrative.
