Full Description
M. Folantin is a government employee who is overwhelmed by the quotidian misery of life. The story follows his Quixotic quest for enjoyment - as he goes to a restaurant, to the cinema, and to a prostitute - but ultimately finds that nothing can shake from him his disgust and boredom with the business of living.
