Renaud Camus is one of the most courageous feathers of our time. he could sing "living together", the "not touch my pal" consensual and continued to "bite into" make prime-time Ardisson of selling the pitch of his crap but he preferred to tell the truth . Since then, we see not much on TV trays. Strange right?
Too bad, because the future, as I said this already gives him reason and literature attests. I want to show three novels read recently that stand out in their own way:
- Sure "Submission" by Michel Houellebecq which speaks of the rise of Islam, hesitating to go into civil war until half the book to finally opt for a comfortable submission in a great replacement by a republican institutions Sharia light and visionary president Mohammed Ben Abbes. Contrary to what I read, this novel is not Islamophobic, at least in the first degree.
- "Events", a novel by Jean Rolin evokes a civil war but not really describe it. A dreamlike journey through France gets torn, divided between nationalist militias called Unitarians (Zuzus ") led by Brennecke, moderate Islamist Hezb. Again the traditional parties are "replaced" by new more radical entities and the country descended into chaos.
- Finally "Tomorrow the Barbarians", by F. Poupard darkest of the three, where the economic collapse in 2028 opened the way to a survivalist Apocalypse. The suburbs of Islamized 9.3. resemble Beirut neighborhoods with portraits of martyrs. Warlords like the Tontons Macoutes rise of child soldier troops. As with Rolin, identity trying to fight.
Despite what some, such convergence can not be a coincidence, especially if one considers that these novels were published before the attack on Charlie Hebdo. Renaud Camus is therefore a good echo beyond simple essayists. Novelists have seized this theme in often agonizing texts but at least make you think.
