Paris plummeting

The Paris 2015 looks like this city described by VD through the wanderings of Vernon Subutex, store unemployed, temporary accommodation to another. Impoverishment that affects everyone, selfishness, greed of the powerful, the dirt, the feeling of a world that is collapsing, cracking on all sides, a world that deserves euthanasia.

He Houellebecq in 2022 shows how the great demographic replacement brings the country to Islam and submission. As for Jean Rolin, he plunges us with "events" in France into civil war. Civil war and a collapse that is found in another great novel, that of F. Poupart that transports us in 2028 in a bankrupt country that switches into war and chaos.

Definitely not the literary season trickles optimism but if we pay all these novelists of their time a vision, sensitivity to the times when we can only be worried, very worried. Vernon Subutex, the store on the edge of poverty looks like a lot of these seniors that one crosses to job center. Then read Despentes, she managed a masterstroke with this novel. My only reservation is the obligation of having to buy two others still, not cool for a writer who talks about the surrounding poverty.
