AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"Houllebecq is one of those writers, like Ayn Rand, for whom concept always precedes character. His general thesis is that a liberal, hypocritical elite is presiding over the spiritual bankruptcy of the West and retreating from the one Enlightenment idea that is still valid: hedonism. Only the sensations of the body have any worth--hence, the utopian value of sex tourism. Again like Rand, Houllebecq somehow produces an effect of myth in spite of his clumsy language and contrived plots."Houellebecq, Michel is the author of 'Platform A Novel', published 2004 under ISBN 9781400030262 and ISBN 1400030269.
