Houellebecq: Extension of the battlefield

Revisit the novels of Michel Houellebecq, surf its pages, including the smell of French devoid of interest because they contradict the odious stereotype of the man who brings the baguette under unwashed arm scented cumin, garlic, herbes de provence .

The characters in his novels always leave very clear in their vocation of voyeurs, whether in the commune naturist elementary particles, either in the protagonist's trip to Thailand of Platform. Another recurring theme is his interest in the Cuban mulatto in Platform is a scene where the maid of Cuban hotel, conveniently devoid of underwear, is not afraid to participate in a menage a trois (after all are French) with the protagonist and his girlfriend. His prose is lame, lame and disinterested vibrantly avatars with some literary accompany their proposals. Houellebecq is a writer who does not hesitate to detail the woman's body, describing, devoid of any lyrical haze, all folds less intrinsic and formal description of the labia of a character in The Elementary Particles is classic, in this case a particular woman's gynecological acts as an adjective qualifying the whole character, calling him old and decadent, and the anatomic condition reveals the character while showering in public bathrooms that naturist commune the protagonist has chosen to spend your summer vacation and bask in the sight of naked women. All the women in his novels are things disposable items where it is difficult to see any trace of the same human dignity that the narrator rejects as unlikely in all his novels. In The elementary particles, the novel that brought him to fame, all the female characters die Tragically, some even a sadistic way. Michel Houellebecq is one of those authors who enjoy not enjoying it, rather than a whimper, a cry of anguish, it is an expression of boredom, unresolved loss. The new novel The Possibility of an Island , which will soon come to Costa Rica in the hands of giant Alfaguara, has finished placing the tables from the scene of ownership and continues to feed the market's interest and, above all, American and British intellectuals, who inspired comment in their cocktail parties in their literary soirees on "that trendy French writer", and count the pages to go in the English version of his new novel The Possibility of an Island , they mention the first female sexual organ. Alfonso Chacón writes in his well illustrated and recommended blog: Further south (www. masalsur.blogspot.com) "Houellebecq is a phenomenon, but I sincerely believe to be the greatest French writer." No, certainly not, is just a writer who draws with a palette own very French perspective of today's world vision as close to the moral decrepitude. Nothing more than that. Or maybe it's just a rogue who managed to bamboozle with his stories half a world as old carefree walk in shirt, pants, with an unfiltered cigarette and a cup of coffee in the glamorous parade of contemporary literary world.
