Serotonin

Longlisted For The International Booker Prize 2020 Florent-Claude Labrouste Is Dying Of Sadness. Despised By His Girlfriend And On The Brink Of Career Failure, His Last Hope For Relief Comes In The Form Of A Newly Available Antidepressant That Alters The Brain's Release Of Serotonin. When He Returns To The Normandy Countryside In Search Of Serenity, He Instead Finds A Rural Community Left Behind By Globalisation And Red-tape Agricultural Policies, With Local Farmers Longing For An Impossible Return To what They Remember As A Golden Age. Serotonin Is At Once A Devastating Story Of Solitude, Longing And Suffering, And A Powerful Criticism Of Modern Life By One Of The Most Provocative And Prophetic Writers Of Our Age.
