Ilustration Conducive To Books Soumission
Dans une France assez proche de la nôtre, un homme s’engage dans la carrière universitaire. Peu motivé par l’enseignement, il s’attend à une vie ennuyeuse mais calme, protégée des grands drames historiques. Cependant les forces en jeu dans le pays ont fissuré le système politique jusqu’à provoquer son effondrement. Cette implosion sans soubresauts, sans vraie révolution, se développe comme un mauvais rêve.Le talent de l’auteur, sa force visionnaire nous entraînent sur un terrain ambigu et glissant ; son regard sur notre civilisation vieillissante fait coexister dans ce roman les intuitions poétiques, les effets comiques, une mélancolie fataliste.
Ce livre est une saisissante fable politique et morale.

(Originally reviewed March 6, 2016) For years now, probably decades, Le Monde and all the other center-left newspapers, which is to say every newspaper, had been denouncing the "Cassandras" who predicted civil war between Muslim immigrants and the indigenous populations of Western Europe. The way it was explained to me by a colleague in the classics department, this was an odd allusion to make. In Greek mythology, Cassandra is a very beautiful young maiden ("like the golden Aphrodite," HomerThere are spoilers ahead. Michel Houellebecq's novel follows the career of a French academic during a future election in France in which a Muslim party wins. Francios, the novel's main character, is a scholar of the nineteenth-century French writer J.K. Huysman. Much like the life of Huysman, Francios moves from a life of hedonism and emptiness toward a life of faith and meaning. However, whereas Hysyman found his way back to Catholicism; Francios converts to Islam from being an academic
As a former Muslim, I see that Houellebecq is right on the money. I escaped Egypt my country in search of a land of freedom, and yet here oppression is chasing after me in the West. We love for Europe to be Europe. After all, that is why we left our mother countries in search of a more civilized world where human dignity is respected. By the way, please take a moment to read my story of conversion into Christianity and drop me a line and I will be your friend:
Why do I always have to think of an iceberg when reading Houellebecq? It is that icy tone of voice in his writing while you sense that there is a vast amount of nasty coldness that stays hidden underneath. His dislike of women and, really, his disgust for mankind is always evident. I do admire though how he evokes in this novel a world that could be entirely possible. One could fit perfectly in this new world order if you do not care about your principles in any strong way. Francois, the
This week, on Dystopia! Michel Houellebecq discusses the future with Robert Heinlein- Good evening, M. Houellebecq.- Bonsoir, M. Heinlein. Alors, please, tell me your vision of the future.- Sure. So Western civilization, it's already--- --in a process of, ah, désintegration?- You got it, buddy. As my old friend Cyril Kornbluth used to say, they breed faster than we do.- Muslims, monsieur?- People with low IQs. Same difference.- Excusez-moi, monsieur, my novel is respectful towards the Muslim
Above our heads the linden branches stirred in the breeze. Just then, in the distance, I heard a soft, muffled noise like an explosion.This wasn't the dystopia I had expected. Scandalous -- such was the domestic response to this alleged fragmentation grenade. Set a few years in the future, the Muslim Brotherhood in France forms a coalition and becomes ruling party -- but what exactly follows? Changes, for sure, but ones that often elude the eye. That is, however, from a man's perspective. Women
Many readers have read naughty boy Michel Houellebecqs latest novel as an Islamophobic diatribe. I dont agree. Houellebecq has been justifiably criticized for earlier comments about Islam and surely Soumission does cater to the increasing French concern that what happened near Poitiers in 732 CE was only, for Islam, a temporary setback, but the real targets of his satire here are French politicians and French professors. In fact, one can read this as one of Frances relatively rare academic
