Michel Houellebecq

Best books by Michel Houellebecq? Also general discussion about him.

I read his essay on Lovecraft recently, its really good even if you're just interested in Lovecraft alone.

I ain't no Houellebecq girl!

That's not how Houellebecq is pronounced. It's something like "well-beck"

Shut up nerd

Not bad but overrated. Tries to be too edgy at times but its fun to read nonetheless

he's one of the few writers today who will be remembered

It's all good. I'd just read his novels chronologically.

>Tries to be too edgy at times

Like when?

>Tries to be too edgy at times
This is a total myth I have heard all too often. Houellebecq does not go out of his way to provoke and shock, he occasionally cracks a harsh joke, but his jokes are always based on honest and clear beliefs. At the end of the day the man is simply saying what he sees as the truth and sincerely and clearly as possible. He is not an edgelord looking for (You)s, he is an intelligent man expressing himself as best he can
