Twelve ministers and secretaries of state have already published a book since their arrival in government, or are in the process of writing one.
But success is not always there.
Bruno Le Maire prances at the top of the list of minister writers.
This Wednesday, November 10, the Minister of the Economy publishes
An Eternal Sun
, his fourth book since the start of the quinquennium, and his fourteenth in all.

The Angel and the Beast
, released in January 2021, has sold over 25,000 copies.
By way of comparison, Marlène Schiappa's novel,
His Way of Being to Me
, only sold around sixty copies in October.
