NO MAN’S LAND FOR MITTERAND
Despite being the nephew of socialist darling François, Frédéric Mitterand reached his political crescendo as Minister of Culture and Communication under right-wing Nicolas Sarkozy, as part of Sarkozy’s “rainbow cabinet” strategem to include a menagerie of political stripes in his cabinet. He was better remembered for the semi-autobiographical The Bad Life, which detailed his visits to the brothels of Thailand and proved a controversy magnet. He was 76 and unique for A la vie, a la mort.
