This novel is truly extraordinary, nothing to do with what the journalists who have not read have said. It's not a pamphlet This novel is smooth, very delicate, it provides perhaps what will become of France, for men with high libido is good for women is tragic but we're going in this direction already. This is my 4th Houellebecq, always amazing, for me it is a French Nabokov. To read, to offer. I would have liked 150 more pages.
