Virginie Despentes's Vernon Subutex trilogy is the zeitgeistiest thing I ever read. Everything about it is contemporary, right down to the fearless woman author who doesn't think of herself as a feminist and gives an impression at least in interviews of habitually killing rapists . . . It] has dupes and assholes and racists and the people they hate and a stunning diversity of internal monologues and trans true love. Like the last decade, it searches for a happy ending that isn't merely personal and can't find it . . . These novels with their depth and detail kick TV's sorry ass. --Nell Zink, Bustle, The Best Books Of The 2010s

From the provocative writer and filmmaker Virginie Despentes comes volume one of her acclaimed trilogy of novels, Vernon Subutex--short-listed for the Man Booker International Prize. But who is Vernon Subutex?

Vernon Subutex was once the proprietor of Revolver, an infamous music shop in Paris, where his name was legend throughout Paris. By the 2000s, however, with the arrival of the internet and the decline in CD and vinyl sales, his shop is struggling, like so many others. When it closes, Subutex finds himself with nowhere to go and nothing to do. Before long, his savings are gone, and when the mysterious rock star who had been covering his rent suddenly drops dead of a drug overdose, Subutex finds himself launched on an epic saga of couch-surfing, boozing, and coke-snorting before finally winding up homeless. Just as he resigns himself to life as a panhandler, a throwaway comment he once made on Facebook takes the internet by storm.

The word is out: Subutex is lugging around a bunch of VHS tapes shot by that same dead rock musician--his last recordings on this earth. Soon a crowd of wild characters, from screen writers to social media groupies, from porn stars to failed musicians to random misfits, are hot on Vernon's trail . . . but Vernon is none the wiser.

Awesome chair and great design!
The mesh surface of this chair is incredibly comfortable and provides excellent elasticity, making it perfect for extended use. Assembly was a breeze thanks to the clear instructions provided. I also appreciate the adjustable air pump, which allows for easy height adjustments to suit my needs. The neck and lumbar supports are fully adjustable, aligning perfectly with my body to offer strong, customized support. Overall, it's an exceptionally cozy chair with a sleek, modern design that combines comfort with style.

Great support and easy to assemble!
Really can't complain about anything about this chair, it was delivered quickly, packaged very securely and very easy to put together with simple instructions. I work from home and am older with multiple joint problems and this chair has many different ways to be adjusted that really help, especially if I'm extra achy or sore. I really like how the arm rest can be angled so that I can access my keyboard at my desk ergonomically and the arms can be lifted up and out of the way all together so that I can position myself closer to the desk when needed. A really nice chair for a great price.

Great Chair, But Armrests Are a Nuisance
This ergonomic office chair has a lot going for it. The mesh back is comfortable and breathable, the adjustable lumbar support is excellent, and the 3D headrest is a welcome addition for long workdays. The rocking function is also a nice feature to have. Overall, the chair is very comfortable and supportive, and seems well-made with the SGS Class 4 gas cylinder. However, there's one glaring flaw that constantly annoys me: the armrests. While they are 3D adjustable, meaning they move up and down, forward and back, and side to side, there's no way to lock them in place. This means that every time I shift in my seat or even just slightly bump the armrest, it moves. It's incredibly frustrating to constantly be readjusting them. It disrupts my focus and makes it hard to find a truly comfortable and consistent position. If the armrests could be locked, this chair would be near perfect. As it stands, this one issue significantly detracts from the overall experience. If you're someone who fidgets or moves around a lot while sitting, I'd seriously consider whether you can live with armrests that constantly need readjustment. For me, it's a daily annoyance that makes me question whether I'd buy this chair again.

Great Chair
I was needing an affordable ergo chair and have tried quite a few. For this price range, you can't beat the quality of this piece. Adjustable lumbar support, arm rest height perfect and cushioned. The head piece is nice, but just not for me. Nicely rocks for those who can't sit still. Easy to assemble by yourself (~20 min) using common sense. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is the seat is made more for someone wider, as I someone feel like my hips are dipping inwards (I am also very narrow). Got a more solid butt pad, and it's perfect. Also! I didn't even need to put on my lumbar support pillow, as the lumbar support is perfect for me! Definitely recommend!
