Описание: Widely acknowledged as an important, if highly controversial, figure in contemporary literature, French novelist and poet Michel Houellebecq has elicited diverse critical responses. In this book Carole Sweeney examines his novels as a response to the advance of neoliberalism into all areas of affective human life. This historicizing study argues that le monde houellebecquien is an ‘atomised society’ of banal quotidian alienation populated by quietly resentful men who are the botched subjects of late-capitalism. Addressing Houellebecq’s handling of the ‘failure’ of the radical thought of ‘68, Sweeney looks at the ways in which his fiction treats feminism, the decline of religion and the family, as well as the obsolescence of French ‘theory’ and the Sartrean notion of ‘engaged’ literature. Reading the world with the disappointed idealism of a contemporary moralist, Houellebecq’s novels, Sweeney argues, fluctuate between despair for the world as it is and a limp utopian hope for a post-humanity.

Описание:

THE MOST IMPORTANT FRENCH BOOK OF THE YEAR
'One cannot be said to be keeping abreast of contemporary literature without reading Houellebecq's work.' Karl Ove Knausgaard, New York Times

Dissatisfied and discontent, Florent-Claude Labrouste begrudgingly works as an engineer for the Ministry of Agriculture, and is in a self-imposed dysfunctional relationship with a younger woman. When he discovers her ongoing infidelity, he decides to abandon his life in Paris and return to the Normandy countryside of his youth. There he contemplates lost loves and past happiness as he struggles to embed himself in a world that no longer holds any joy for him.

His only relief comes in the form of a pill - white, oval, small. Captorix is a new brand of anti-depressant, recently released for public consumption, which works by altering the brain's release of serotonin. With social unrest intensifying around him, and his own depression deepening, Florent-Claude turns to this new medication in the hope that he will find something to live for.

Written by one of the most provocative and prophetic novelists of his generation, Serotonin is at once a devastating story of solitude, longing and individual suffering, and a powerful criticism of modern life.

Описание:     "Everything, they say, separates us--with the exception of one fundamental point: we are both rather despicable individuals." And so begins the galvanizing, passionate correspondence between (in their own words), "nihilist and scandalous misogynist" Michel Houellebecq, and "vain, immoral" Bernard-Henri L?vy. More than just snarky insults, Public Enemies is a fascinating exchange between two bad boys of French letters as they reject polite distance in favor of open, honest dialogue.    Begun as an "experiment with confessional literature," Houellebecq and L?vy compellingly discuss how they view the world, and the issues they grapple with. The letters are sometimes funny, sometimes touching, but always genuine. This is intellectual theater at its best.
