Is this the most relevant novel of our time? The violence in Paris described in the book happened on the day the book came out. Now that the Front Nationale is the great winner of the regional elections the socialists are actually doing what Houellebecq predicted: Throwing themselves at the feet of anyone who has somewhat of a chance of keeping the nationalists from power.
Is there any active author that is more of a visionary than Houellebecq?
>>>/pol/
racist, white scum.
Why would you put your name twice in the cover?
>>7432780
Because his name sells a lot of books, probably.
It's the least relevant Houellebecq novel for sure.
>>7432798
His others novels were exposing the hole at the centre of Western society. This one shows how such holes tend to be filled by whatever ideology is still vital enough to do so.
>>7432780
It's a red half slipcover.
Because as >>7432791
says, his name sells.

What's it like reading Houellebecq as a black man?
>>7432828
He's probably a mudslime trying to get ideas of how to take over Europe
>>7432768

where the fuck did they all come from

Have you read the book? It's anything but racist.
>>7432830
he just needs to sit and wait according to the book
>>7432845
If anything it would be the best way, all this open extremism just makes people more strongly opposed to the Islamisation.

You gotta pick communism or fascism to escape the jewish control and capitalism.

Why are you /pol/ebs so cringe-inducing?

who let it get to this point
Can anyone link to the .epub in French?
Thank you.
>>7432773
At least read a review before you burn the book. Why is it that so many people who hate a particular book have never read it?
>>7432918
Hollande even condemned the book publicly before knowing what it was about, along with all the media.
People are hysterically afraid of political incorrectness.
At first I was fairly certain Hollaback was going over the top for the sake of satire, which he did effectively. But with how these recent elections have went, I'm unsure. Of course, there would need to be a Muslim party for the Socialists to align with, but I wouldn't wait long for that.
On the other hand, the FN success in some areas was very strong, with FN candidates taking 30-40% of the vote. I don't know if a combined Socialist/any party could make a clean sweep of the country with the FN foothold that strong. I think the socialists would probably end up with Ile de France and some other more liberal area, which would lead to a country divided situation rather than 1 dominant party.

Is it really that interesting? I only vaguely heard about it. Isn't it talking about an Islamo-leftist Party ascension to power? How does it relate to the actual (predictable) ascension of the FN?
>>7432970
" 10 percent of the French population is Muslim " Can someone learn to these guys to never start an article with straight bullshit?

It's not very interesting, it's 80% the usual Hollaback masturbatory fantasies with an added "now I can marry 2 15-year olds and one 40-year old for the kitchen!"
There are some fun bits about
It relates to the FN in his short explanation of the rise of the "Islamo-leftist" party: the far right got stronger, so that the "old" left parties collaborated with the new left-Islam party, so that the new Prime Minister is a Muslim and their party has a minor majority
Not much changes (after all, it's still a democracy) but some of the higher ups in society suck up to Islam (or rather, Saudi funding) and convert, which the narrator as a Professor in a university decides to do too at the end
But that's really just a minor part of the book, the rest is the usual Hollaback "boo the West is over booo I'm bored boo here's 30 pages of superfluous sex-scenes, you paid to watch me masturbate". That man will always write the same book.
>>7433064
Oh my bad, I just read the plot... and it makes sense.
>>7432766
>inb4 the "nazi's out, refugees in xD" millennial faggots DO make an alliance with a muslim brotherhood tier party and make Houellebecq's worst nightmare come true
>>7433075
You don't really go in for the whole "reading" thing, do you?
>>7433075
Thanks for your overview... so I think I am not making this book a priority
>>7433090
this will happen but at least it will be funny when it backfires on them
Shit thread but the OP is a book so nothing can be done.
>>7432974
There's like one or two guys from both /pol/ and /r9k/ that come over to shit up the board every once in a while.
>>7433075
>not much changes
Except for women leaving the workforce en masse, unemployment dropping, crime diminishing, conservative values being enforced, religious schools becoming the norm et cetera. Society is basically saved by conservative values in the novel.
>>7432972
Breitbart actually reports facts once in a while.
What the fuck happened to him?
>>7433364
This is what happens when all you do is criticize society and smoke.
>>7433364
He's gone past not giving a fuck.
>>7432895
typical lazy french fuck. swear to fucking god i hope no one posts a link. if they do i will report this shit. goddamnit

He looks like the literal personification of decay.

He smokes like 3+ packs a day so it's hardly surprising. I don't know how people smoke that much, you'd have to be pretty much chain smoking the entire day.
>>7433364
The four horsemen rolled into one. Except War, because he's French
>>7433075
you clearly haven't read Map and territory. Personally I think its the best Houellebecq book.
this man is a work of art himself

Even Brendan Fraser can't out-JUST this.
>>7432825

>>7433364
He's basically reflecting the state of the country.
>>7433644
I think Houellebecq just doesn't give a fuck anymore. Fraser was court raped. Its different.
>>7433679
It's more of he wants to appear like he doesn't give a fuck.
>>7433668
he's france's dorian gray picture

The FN getting to power would be like the most potent anti-ageing cream

Fucking kek
I wouldn't even be surprised if this was his intention
>>7433692
Well obviously he gives enough fuck to write novels which serve like a mirror to the western society, but I don't think his appearance is high on his priority list. Not that I approve of it but its not uncommon with these kind of people.
>>7432798
>least relevant
lmao

Probably came to terms with himself. I'm sure the money and success help as well.
