Michel Houellebecq ist heute einer der besten lebenden Romanautoren. Sein neuester Roman, Submission, ist jetzt auf Englisch erschienen. Er bestätigt meinen langjährigen Verdacht, dass Houellebecq ein rechter Mann ist, ob er es zugibt oder nicht vor uns oder sogar vor sich selbst. (more…)

Translator’s Note: I discovered these reflections nestled between some pornographic scenes in Michel Houellebecq’s recently published novel, Sérotonine (Paris: Flammarion, 2019), pp. 70-72.
It is perhaps necessary at this point to provide a few clarifications on love, largely aimed at women, because women don’t really understand what love is for men. (more…)

Michel Houellebecq patrí v súčasnosti k najlepším románopiscom. Jeho posledný román Submission práve vychádza i v angličtine. Po jeho prečítaní sa potvrdilo moje dlhodobé podozrenie, že Houellebecq je mužom Pravice – či už si to prizná alebo nie.
Houellebecq je dlhodobo jedným z najdrsnejších kritikov liberálnej dekadencie a pokrytectva. (more…)

Michel Houellebecq
Submission: A Novel
Trans. Lorin Stein
London: Heinemann, 2015
Michel Houellebecq is one of the finest novelists living today. His most recent novel, Submission, is now out in English. It confirms my long-held suspicion that Houellebecq is a man of the Right, whether or not he admits it to us, or even to himself.

Nejnovější román Michela Houllebecqa Soumission vyvolal ohromný rozruch. Kniha popisuje nástup k moci islamistického prezidenta ve Francii roku 2022 a předvídatelně byla označena za islamofobní. Načasování vydání knihy souběžně s masakrem v Charlie Hebdo – kdy skupina ve Francii narozených nespokojených muslimů povraždila několik levicově liberálních karikaturistů a Židů – bylo z hlediska marketingu knihy dokonalé.

Последният роман на Мишел Уелбек “Подчинение“ предизвика огромен интерес. Книгата описва идването на власт във Франция на президент ислямист през 2022г. и очаквано е набедена за ислямофобска. Атентатът над Шарли Ебдо – няколко разгневени мюсюлмани родени във Франция убиват ляво-либерални карикатуристи и евреи – се проведе в най-подходящото време, за да увеличи продажбите на книгата. Действително “Подчинение“ е нещо, станало изключително рядко – succès européen (за разлика от обичайния паневропейски панаир на културата, състоящ се от холивудски блокбъстъри и дегенерирала бритпоп музика).

The Elementary Particles
Translated from the French by Frank Wynne
New York: Knopf, 2000
“I get my kicks above the waistline, Sunshine.”[1]
“The universe is nothing but a furtive arrangement of elementary particles. . . . And human actions are as free and as stripped of meaning as the unfettered movements of the elementary particles.” — Michel Houellebecq, (more…)
