The Possibility of an Island | Michel Houellebecq

from the moment they are born, men live in a difficult world, a world where the stakes are simplistic and pitiless, and without the understanding of women there are very few who manage to survive.

Taylor
The Possibility of an Island | Michel Houellebecq

A trajectory remains perfect, even one that concludes in death: there can be a truck, an overturned car, an imponderable; this takes nothing away from the beauty of the trajectory.

Interesting criticism of our current materialistic and banal times, but it gets a little convoluted for my taste. I liked Houllebecq's "Soumission" better. #setonanisland #seasonsreadings2016

Hobbinol His books have been on my back burner for a while now. Have you seen the film: The Kidnapping of Michel Houellebecq? I have it bookmarked on Netflix, but haven't watched it yet. Just wondering... 8y
Eugeniavb No! Haven't seen it. I will check it out. Thanks! @Hobbinol 8y
