The 41-year-old bohemian girl represents almost the entire cultural scene in France in the novel. All characters are real, and sometimes it’s better not to read about how they act. Cristina's close friend, the famous writer Frederic Begbeder, turns out to be an insensitive vulgarity, actress Sandrine Bonner tamed the number one playboy of sports journalism in France, and he now prepares strawberry ice cream for her. At parties, only drugs are discussed. And a completely real, living journalist, Pierre-Louis Rozines, is depicted almost mad. By typing the name Rozines in a search engine, you can find his articles, articles about him and his photographs: so this is what he is, this psychopath, the deranged, the main autist of French cultural journalism.
