An aesthete and a snob, a professional advertising man, Frederic Beigbeder is one of the most prominent figures in the literary world. In his novel "Love Lasts Three Years," Mark Marrone, after three years of marriage, falls in love with another woman. However, he can’t fully immerse himself in the new relationship and, believing his theory that love lasts only three years, he tries to treat it skeptically—waiting for the fateful date and the inevitable breakup.
