Each space is described in painstaking detail, sometimes down to the centimeter, and the history of every object and appliance is fully excavated with self-deprecating wit. From the ideal varieties of bathroom reading material to the color of his dish rack to the chaos of his sock drawer, Clerc happily and shamelessly guides us through the most intimate crannies of his home, as well as through all the strata of his existence as a bourgeois city dweller approaching middle age. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlayful and irreverent, as well as a sly commentary on materialism, \u003ci\u003e Interior\u003c\/i\u003e finds drama in the domestic and dark humor in every doomed attempt to express individuality through the things that we own.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Clerc\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1965 and is the author of several books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Killed Roland Barthes\u003c\/i\u003e, a collection of short stories for which he received the Grand Prix de la Nouvelle of the Académie Française.
