Kafka Cola, sans pitié ni sucre ajouté (Éditions Leo Scheer, 140 p.)

Kafka Cola is a literary essay, a “pop art” vision of our modernity, of French society and contemporary American mythology.

Kafka Cola is a variation on a main theme inspired by the famous sentence of former boss of TF1 (French TV channel) :“What we sell to Coca-Cola is available human brain time”.

Even more refreshing, more invigorating, more exhilarating than just energy drink or any other substance more or less legal, Kafka Cola immerses the reader in an imaginary world, baroque and cruel where utopia and reality collide. More anarcho-psychedelic than altermondialist, Kafka Cola interrogates our modernity and deploys a comic and hallucinatory vision of the society of communication. Endangering intellectual good manners, praising the absurd, the misappropriation, the deception and the trangression, Kafka Cola offers an immersion in a delusional world : ours.
Frightened virgins of good conscience, refrain!
