Very reminiscent indeed. Ayatollah Chirac has decreed a death
|
|
sentence on Houellebecq and liked-minded fundamentalists have offered
|
|
millions of euros bounty for his head, so he has gone into hiding
|
|
under police protection for a few years.
|
|
|
|
Or maybe some handful of Muslims are acting uppity and dragging him to
|
|
court under "hate speech" laws make a point about people not showin'
|
|
dem da massive respect dat dey deserve, especially these days.
|
|
|
|
Or maybe some journo is trying to fill column inches on a boring day.
|
|
|
|
|
|
BTW I read Houellebecq's "Extension du domaine de la lutte" recently,
|
|
about a depressed computer services dude working in Paris, looking for
|
|
love and not finding it, slowing losing his marbles and trying to get
|
|
a friend of his to kill a woman, and ending up in a clinic for
|
|
nutcases... Yikes! Purposely provocative, very depressing, with some
|
|
unbelievably boring passages where the anti-hero writes little stories
|
|
about animals talking philosophical mumbo-jumbo to each other, quoted
|
|
inline in full for pages on end.
|
|
|
|
It starts out:
|
|
|
|
"On Friday evening, I was invited to a party with some colleagues from
|
|
work. There were about thrity of us, all professionals aged from
|
|
twenty-five to forty. At one point, some cunt started getting
|
|
undressed. She took off her T-shirt, then her bra, then her skirt, all
|
|
the while making unbelievable faces. She pranced around for a few
|
|
seconds, then she started getting dresesd again because she didn't
|
|
know what else to do. Anyway she never sleeps with anyone. Which
|
|
underlines the absurdity of her behaviour.
|
|
|
|
After my fourth glass of vodka I started to feel pretty bad so I had
|
|
to go lie down on a bunch of cushions behind the couch. Shortly after
|
|
that, two girls came and sat on the couch. Those girls are not pretty
|
|
at all, the two fat office cows actually. They go to eat together and
|
|
read books about the development of language in children, all that
|
|
sort of stuff."
|
|
|
|
... and it's downhill from there!
