Are You Agité? . A Treatise on Everyday Agitation
Sound Bite
Agitation : it’s a high! It’s our turn-of-millennium malaise, but it’s also a source of jubilation. This book is smart, fun, witty and stylish. It’s a user’s guide for everyone who is burning to see, to go, to do. It’s a hymn to the intoxication, the thrill, and the inspiration of life in the fast lane! "Agité" could become a new household word, replacing "hyper" in our vocabulary for the new era. This is a light-hearted day trip for the long distance runner, erudite without a hint of heaviness.

About the Author

A leading international reporter for Elle, Trétiack anchors his presentation with references to heavy-weights like Dostoevsky and Hannah Arendt, not to mention the Hard Rock Café. Although those who run from one thing to another risk being taken for superficial, Tretiack is clearly not that. He was the 1999 Grand Prize winner from the readers of Elle (France).
