Is the French goblin the best writer today?

>implying 99 francs isn't a masterpiss

yeah Beigbeder can't write, and Modiano can't either. Most of the other names I have never read. Shouldn't Tanguy Viel be part of the list ?

Still wondering if there's some living French writer that could be compared to Gracq. That guy knew how to write.

Claude Simon lol
Carole Martinez (inb4 woman)
Patrick Chamoiseau from Martinique is a fucking beast

this

Gracq was a true boss btw

was he the last surrealist or was it vian?

i dont like vian, im not sure i'd label gracq surreal, i associate surrealism too much with freud, i dont think gracq is about that.

rivage des syrtes and balcon en foret were clearly inspired by junger's on the marble cliffs and his ww2 diaries

I'm convinced the only reason his plots come true is because he's secretly orchestrating them like some mad villain, he looks like a villain.

In an evil world any true hero would

nah, he's just a frustrated old virgin, that's all

Pic rel is the future
>good looking
>almost Christlike
>funded The Sade Award (Prix de Sade)
>lightness
>witty and intelligent

Beigbeder is already a legend

>best selling american author
E.L. James
>best selling british author
J.K. Rowling
>best selling French author
Michel Houellebecq

Are Anglos even allowed to post on Veeky Forums?

>a kike making humor of Muslims slaying Gentiles

Uh huh

read "Windows on the World" by Beigbeder about 9/11
he's no different, he's just writing romance literature from a virgin's perspective

Oh wow 9/11, how current

jesus fucking christ, would you read a book instead of criticizing a priori, faggot?

Why don't you read my asshole. I'm not touching some airport novel I'll never hear about again because some faggot likes it too much

Anyone here getting his selected poetry collection soon? Given the themes of his books it should be real interesting.

so leave this thread and read Greeks, you will hear about them in school

>he's no different, he's just writing romance literature from a virgin's perspective
obviously didn't read him

This guy walks up to you and says, "I'm the best novelist in the world." What do you say?

kiss him deeply

"Y-you too."

>You're not Tao Lin

always with the comfy parkas

>reading French Rust Cohle

kick him in the ass
you edgy faggot virgins have pleb taste

>Modiano
Hahaha.

I smile, and politely invite him to eat wherever he wants.

>he never read Dora Bruder
>he never read anything by Modiano, the chroniqueur of our times

to the nearest brothel
you must pay

also
>social hierarchy based on sexual activity
only a fucking virgin like Houellebecq could have come up with this shit

Sex and death are trite themes for hacky cunts.

>implying Houllebecq isn't just as much of a hack pornographer as E. L. James and that the only reason he is venerated is because he sprinkles an occasional undergrad-tier cultural analysis into his predictable works about pornography and ennui.

Houllebecq is an absolute hack who just continues the tradition of french satire that is best manifested in Voltaire: inane platitudes lazily packed into mediocre prose, you don't like him for any other reason than that you agree with him.

in his vein? knausgaard.

His sheer non-give-a-fuckery is infectious tho

we talking about french writors

I also like him because he makes nervous faggots like you mad

"right, can I bum a fag m8"

OP says best writer today not best French writer today

>virgin

Michel fucks lots of slags m8

>>social hierarchy based on sexual activity
>only a fucking virgin like Houellebecq could have come up with this shit

So you're insulting him by calling him a virgin for asserting a strong link between social status and sexual activity
Hmm..

rekt desu

You got me, I am insulting him through his own imaginary standards and fears

truly great mind

The truth is in fact that Houellebecq's plots are often EXACT reflections of shit that happened to him, no fictionalization included.

After his first novel (Extension.... aka Whatever) came out some journalist googled the names of the characters and discovered they were actually people, including the middle-aged unmarried woman he mocks and his Chad boss who he hates. They both wished Michel had changed their names but he obviously doesn't give a fuck. The stuff about the ex-wife and stuff is all true. I imagine that the reason his novels often include two contrasting characters (Michel and Bruno, Our Hero and Tisserand) is that Houellebecq knows the darker and perhaps truer side of his personality is pretty pathetic and hilarious and separates that from the more detached, analytic and virtuous (or perhaps apathetic) side of his personality.

I recommend Houellebecq's manifesto "To Stay Alive" (free online). It's really frank, no bullshit advice for depressed wagecucks who want to """become""" """artists""".

Fucking based, truly our guy
