Published in 1994, "Holiday in a Coma" is the second novel by Frédéric Beigbeder. In it the author describes with some leniency, but also with poignant irony, one specific type of Parisian fauna, supplied with exotic drugs, queer cocktails and futile earthly talks, a fauna that the author knows very well and which he in enthralling manner presents in this second book of the popular trilogy.
