Virginie Despentes's Vernon Subutex trilogy is the zeitgeistiest thing I ever read. Everything about it is contemporary, right down to the fearless woman author who doesn't think of herself as a feminist and gives an impression at least in interviews of habitually killing rapists . . . It] has dupes and assholes and racists and the people they hate and a stunning diversity of internal monologues and trans true love. Like the last decade, it searches for a happy ending that isn't merely personal and can't find it . . . These novels with their depth and detail kick TV's sorry ass. --Nell Zink, Bustle, The Best Books Of The 2010s

From the provocative writer and filmmaker Virginie Despentes comes volume one of her acclaimed trilogy of novels, Vernon Subutex--short-listed for the Man Booker International Prize. But who is Vernon Subutex?

Vernon Subutex was once the proprietor of Revolver, an infamous music shop in Paris, where his name was legend throughout Paris. By the 2000s, however, with the arrival of the internet and the decline in CD and vinyl sales, his shop is struggling, like so many others. When it closes, Subutex finds himself with nowhere to go and nothing to do. Before long, his savings are gone, and when the mysterious rock star who had been covering his rent suddenly drops dead of a drug overdose, Subutex finds himself launched on an epic saga of couch-surfing, boozing, and coke-snorting before finally winding up homeless. Just as he resigns himself to life as a panhandler, a throwaway comment he once made on Facebook takes the internet by storm.

The word is out: Subutex is lugging around a bunch of VHS tapes shot by that same dead rock musician--his last recordings on this earth. Soon a crowd of wild characters, from screen writers to social media groupies, from porn stars to failed musicians to random misfits, are hot on Vernon's trail . . . but Vernon is none the wiser.

This stuff works!!
Scent: Fragrance-Free - Standard Size
This set has been the absolute best shampoo, lotion, and ointment for my little one going through a tough spell of baby acne. The ingredient list is clean, and worked miracles quickly. Baby’s skin was so soft, the redness disappeared within days. After just the second wash I could really notice a difference. Thank you Tubby Todd!

Perfect gentle routine for newborn skin
Scent: Lavender Rosemary - Standard Size, Scent: Lavender Rosemary - Standard Size
We started using the Tubby Todd 3-Step Baby Bath & Skincare set when our baby was just weeks old, and it has been amazing for delicate newborn skin. The Hair + Body Wash is extremely gentle and doesn’t irritate or dry out the skin. It rinses clean and has a very mild, pleasant scent. The Everyday Lotion keeps our baby’s skin soft and smooth without feeling heavy or sticky. It’s perfect for daily use after bath time. The All-Over Ointment is great for extra-dry areas, especially around the cheeks and legs. It creates a protective barrier that helps prevent dryness, especially in cooler weather. We appreciate that this brand avoids harsh chemicals and focuses on clean, baby-safe ingredients. This routine has become part of our nightly bath time and has kept our newborn’s skin healthy and moisturized. Would absolutely recommend this to new parents looking for a safe, gentle skincare routine for their baby.

It didn’t work for my baby
Scent: Fragrance-Free - Standard Size
Update on my review: gave it 5 stars because the customer service is great!!! Thank you uso much! I’m sorry this product didn’t work out for my little one. But thank you for having a great customer service! I’ve been using the products for about a week now and haven’t noticed any improvement in my baby’s skin. I do appreciate that the ingredients are clean, fragrance-free, and that the ointment is thick and suitable for eczema. However, I’ve seen other reviews mentioning results within a few days, and unfortunately, that hasn’t been my experience. For me, it wasn’t worth the money. At first I thought my baby had ringworm but I took him to his pediatrician and she said it’s a mild eczema, I don’t want to do steroid lotion, I purchased this hoping it would help and it hasn’t

Before and after baby newborn acne
Scent: Lavender Rosemary - Standard Size, Scent: Lavender Rosemary - Standard Size
As a first-time mom, I was really stressed when my newborn developed baby acne. The doctor told me it’s normal, but it was still hard to see. I tried other products like Nutella, but unfortunately, nothing seemed to help. Then I decided to try this product — both the face ointment and the body lotion — and I’m so glad I did. My baby actually loves it! Unlike other lotions, it doesn’t feel cold on her skin, so she no longer cries when I apply it. The biggest difference was how quickly it worked. Within just 2 days, her acne improved so much. I was honestly surprised and relieved. I definitely recommend this product to other parents. For reference, my baby is Asian, and it worked very well for her skin.
