the last of the french moralists. Half of his work is crap, tho

>>8323937
Bro, Platform, about how Islam was never gonna let the West live in peace with their liberal values, was published two and a half weeks before 9/11. Submission, about how the West will warm to Islam once it occurs to them how appealing their ideas about the subservience of women is, should not be taken lightly either. Houellebecq is one of the few contemporary writers worth taking seriously.

He's cancer on social media. The Selfish gene was his only worthwhile book because

I read Submission a year ago and did a little research reading his interviews. I dont think he hates islam as a whole, he just writes about the decadence of the liberal french society.

Maybe he changed his mind over the last months? I dont know.

he's shit now but his books on evolution are still great science writing.

Dawkins memes is just a shithouse version of jung's collective unconscious

>>8323952
This. Say whatever you want, overcucked liberal zealots, but Houellebecq's "fairy tales" are way more in touch with reality than whatever you stand for.

>>8323985
Yeah I don't dispute that. But lately it's just been about curing religion and aborting downs syndrom babies.

Hence comes the four-legged friendships of so many of the better kind of men, for on what indeed should one refresh oneself from the endless deceit, falseness, and cunning of men if it were not for the dogs into whose faithful countenance one may look without distrust? - Schopenhauer

Explain yourself now or forever hold your peace.

Nobody can ignore his talent of picking sujets and creating scenarios that are essentially important for our time. If you don't like his style it's okay, but his art is needed really bad.

This. And Christopher Hitchens. The overly vitriolic approach just gets tiring.

Hitchens got real boring real quick on atheism because there's ultimately only so many ways you can say 'yo this shit so dumb.' But I never tires of his political and literary opinions. Nothing he did on that front was ever boring.

>>8324730
What I hate about Hitchens is not how much I hate his late style but how much I love his early style.

I wonder if I'll go through a similar transformation.

Thanks. Do you want to coordinate with me on my upcoming objectivist children's book? I need somebody to do the illustrations. Woodcut experience is required.
