Omschrijving
The controversial, gripping novel from the bestselling, highly acclaimed author of ATOMISED and SEROTONIN.
'Essential reading for anyone concerned with the state of the contemporary world' DAILY MAIL
Takes you by the throat and shakes you. A bracing mix of visionary Aldous Huxley, Evelyn Waugh at his cruellest, and ranting John Osborne, THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ISLAND is a charging bull in the china shop of modern fiction
THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ISLAND is above all an aesthetic achievement. For this, Houellebecq should win the Prix Goncourt that polemics and personalities have made so elusive
His deftly constructed novel is a bleak comment on contemporary society, at times funny, brutal and revolting
An exhilarating writer....in a class of his own
There is no doubt that he is a writer who deserves the serious attention that he is now receiving
Provocative and satisfying fiction
The novel is essential reading for anyone concerned with the state of either contemporary fiction or the contemporary world
There are passages of irresistible black humour, savage condemnation and genuine (and surprising) sentiment
If you liked ATOMISED and PLATFORM, you'll love THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ISLAND ... the most talented of current French writers
It will sicken you, reduce you to laughter and stun you with its savage directness, but it will always leave you thinking
The first 300 pages of this novel prove that Houellebecq is one of the best novelists writing today
The book shows his main strength: caustic wit with a moral force that cuts through complacent assumptions
Houellebecq keeps us listening, even when we know we should leave
Reading Houellebecq is like being caught up in a tropical storm: you are blown away by the ferocity of his imagination
Europe's most inflammatory writer
Houellebecq keeps us listening, even when we know we should leave.
the book shows his main strength: caustic with with a moral force that cuts throug complacent assumptions.
