Dominic, that's wonderful! Houllebecq makes me see red: when I got to
the end of Atomised I threw it in the bin (something I have never done
- I've thrown books across the room before, but never actually trashed
one). I couldn't believe the bathos and self pity and pretension. I do
think there is something to be written about the banality of
pornography as bored bourgeois commodity activity, but MH only affects
to do this. Ugh.
All best
Alison
