A controversial, intelligent, and mordantly funny new novel from France’s most famous living literary figure
It’s 2022. François is bored. He’s a middle-aged lecturer at the New Sorbonne University and an expert on J. K. Huysmans, the famed nineteenth-century novelist associated with the Decadent movement. But François’s own decadence is of considerably smaller scale. He sleeps with his students, eats microwave dinners, and watches YouPorn.
Meanwhile, it’s election season, and in an alliance with the Socialists, France’s new Islamic party sweeps to power—and Islamic law is instituted. Women are veiled, polygamy is encouraged, and François is offered an irresistible academic advancement—on the condition that he converts to Islam.
A darkly comic masterpiece from one of France’s great writers, Submission by Michel Houellebecq has become an international sensation and one of the most discussed novels of our time.

He lives in France.Product DescriptionA controversial, intelligent, and mordantly funny new novel from Frances most famous living literary figureIts 2022. Franois is bored. Hes a middle-aged lecturer at the New Sorbonne University and an expert on J. K. Huysmans, the famed nineteenth-century novelist associated with the Decadent movement. But Franoiss own decadence is of considerably smaller scale. He sleeps with his students, eats microwave dinners, and watches YouPorn.Meanwhile, its election season, and in an alliance with the Socialists, Frances new Islamic party sweeps to power-and Islamic law is instituted. Women are veiled, polygamy is encouraged, and Franois is offered an irresistible academic advancement-on the condition that he converts to Islam.A darkly comic masterpiece from one of Frances great writers, Submission by Michel Houellebecq has become an international sensation and one of the most discussed novels of our time.Review"Submission may be the most relevant book of the year." -Daniel D'Addario, Time"Houellebecq is considered a great contemporary author, and one cannot be said to be keeping abreast of contemporary literature without reading his work . . . What prevents me from reading Houellebecq and watching von Trier is a kind of envy - not that I begrudge them success, but by reading the books and watching the films I would be reminded of how excellent a work of art can be, and of how far beneath that level my own work is." -Karl Ove Knausgaard, The New York Times Book ReviewThe political elements of Submission are so comically exaggerated that it's hard to take them very seriously . . . This is the novel's big joke. It's designed to agitate the right by suggesting the right may have a point about the erosion of France's national culture, and to tweak the left by lending ironic credence to the right's fears . . . The only time Houellebecq seems not to be joking is when Francois speaks about literature . . . Whatever it says or doesn't say about Europe and Islam, Submission is a love letter to the novel itself. -Christian Lorentzen, New York MagazineHouellebecq's recent work-especially The Map and the Territory, one of the finest novels of the 21st century-is elegant, sad, all the more discomfiting in that we never quite know how much subtlety to credit the author with. Houellebecq writes on shifting sands. But I think he might just be permanent. -Michael Robbins,The Chicago TribuneIn Submission, Houellebecq is no less afraid to foment than in previous works, but his audacity serves a purpose that may not be immediately evident. His goal in this quasi-dystopian novel is to cast a light on contemporary French society and the deficiencies he perceives and to suggest that the future he predicts isn't wholly beyond the realm of possibility . . . A challenging satire that, at its best, is subtler than its author's reputation might lead you to expect. -Michael Margas, The San Francisco ChronicleHouellebec's deadpan comedic edge . . . defies the reader to find the line between parody and philosophy . . . What Houellebecq has done in Submission is hold up a mirror to his readers. The charge is that he inflames animosity by depicting a Muslim-influenced France as something of which Europeans should be frightened. But he puts readers and critics in the position of having to specify what exactly is frightening about this France. -S. Mark Heim, The Christian CenturyMichel Houellebecq: butcher. Messy slaughterer of sacred cows. Disembowler of all modes of political correctness, from the myth of the modern male's respect for women to the laughable fiction of the liberal Westerner's respect for non-Western cultures. That's the story, anyway. Like most good st. Codice articolo BKZN9781250097347
