Items related to The Best Thing That Can Happen to a Croissant
A best seller in Europe, Pablo Tusset's wickedly funny debut novel follows the hilarious, boozy, libidinous, and occasionally dangerous travails of Pablo Baloo” Miralles, the wholeheartedly dissolute thirty-year-old black sheep of the staid Barcelona finance titans of Miralles & Miralles. This renowned Internet blogger, daytime sleeper, and dedicated hedonist is yanked into family business matters when the president of the business, his older, accomplished brother, disappears. Thus begins The Best Thing That Can Happen to a Croissant, an easy-riding, reluctant-detective story. Tusset's prodigious talents as both a satirist and creator of one of the most hilarious underachievers in recent memory make this an exquisitely entertaining read.

About the Author:
"Frequently tasteless but quite delicious" Metro
An easy-riding, ball-busting comedy of bad manners
Pablo Miralles is a fat, useless, flatulent thirty-year-old and the black sheep of his obscenely wealthy family. His brother, 'The First,' is president of the booming family business.
But when 'The First' suddenly disappears, Pablo finds himself being sucked into a hair-raising, mind-bending adventure, an adventure which he must use all of his well-honed survival skills to come out of alive...
"A comic masterpiece" Ladsmag
"Hilarious, raunchy and pungently aphoristic" The Times
"Funny, inventive and irreverent" Daily Mail
"A cult in the making..." Herald
Canongate
