Part autofiction and part social commentary, Jestin transforms the discothèque into a microcosm of a degenerating society void of meaningful human interaction. L’homme qui danse is a timely read for this year’s rentrée littéraire, as we deal with our own isolation and FOMO (“fear of missing out”) during the pandemic time warp.
