About the book
Dental hygienists are illegal, yet the French exchange a staggering 184 billion kisses every year. While preaching liberté, the State forbids everything, is run by one school's alumni, and messes up over two thirds of the economy. Despite his rhetoric, even Macron has made not an iota of difference. Did you know that the French eat more McDonald's hamburgers than anywhere else in the world? Or that they pretend to be literary even as Fifty Shades of Grey is France's best-selling book, ever? This revealing look at modern France uncovers the contradictions and peculiarities that make the nation tick—and there is much more!
