Michel Houellebecq

Michel Houellebecq

Michel Houellebecq, born in 1956 on the island of Réunion, is the writer France loves to hate. They call him reactionary, misogynist, prophet of nihilism, medals he wears with pride. His strength lies in refusing comfort: he writes like someone rubbing salt into the wounds of a tired Europe, unable to reinvent itself. Resentment shows what many sense but don't want to point out: our civilisation, medicated and numbed, is preparing its own funeral.
