Staying Alive, unforgettable piece merit alone 5 stars. This black and hilarious text dissects us the artist's life, evoking frustration, loneliness and despair of the creator with an ice calm. Here Houellebecq s''efface: he simply asks his thoughts on the page with measured and neutral words, precise as a surgeon's blade exposing the folds of a sick heart, giving a singular force to these lines. Warning: reading this text can bring about a transformation in your perspective.
