After reading The Elementary Particles, I found at his heart he is actually astoundingly sweet and sentimental.
He is the hero we need and society is the villain

I'd have to agree. A very sad man that shows us how impossible the idea of love in a "sexually liberated" world is, even for those at the top of the sexual food chain, so to speak. The overt offensiveness of The Elementary Particles is both to prove a point (it works quite well - Houellebecq is nowhere near as extreme as some shitty, sensitive readers would make you think) and, I think, as a way to escape vulnerability.

>In April 2008, Houellebecq's estranged mother, Lucie Ceccaldi, returned to France to publish The Innocent One, a rebuttal of his alleged mis-characterization of her parenting as contained in the novel. In press interviews, she promised that "if he has the misfortune of sticking my name on anything again he'll get my walking stick in his face and that'll knock his teeth out."

What a nice woman.

The French are the biggest pseuds in the Western world. If they dislike something then it's probably good, and if they like something then it's probably bad.

Philosophy would be far better if Germany subjugated France 500 years ago and turned the country into a plantation of illiterate surfs. The French are subhuman.
