Translated for the first time into English, a dual-text edition of�a prize-winning poetry collection from the always controversial novelist
Notorious as a novelist, Michel Houellebecq was first known in France as a poet, and in many ways it is through poetry that he found his novelist's voice.�The recipient of the prestigious poetry prize�Prix de Flore, this collection of prose and verse pieces investigate issues of alienation, individualism, and disillusionment��hemes that will be familiar to Houellebecq readers��hile subtly adopting a variety of tones and styles, revealing facets of the author unknown until now in the English-speaking world. Deeply melancholic and despairing at the inhumanity of the present-day world, yet brimming with vitality and invention, these timely, poignant poems clear away the dross of hollow optimism and call for an end to the nightmare of modern existence.
