What's /lit/ opinion in Houellebecq? Is he really that great or is just a meme?

if he's against Muslamians and pro-white-male-virginity then he's a fucking Hero of the Redpill to me.
He gets a bit repetitive.
He's a genius with an almost flawless body of work

Soumission and Possibility of an Island, if read first, are excellent, with Soumission reflecting the Zeitgeist of the age and the reality of liberal humanism in the 21st century.

Without having read Huysmans or at least his history you would have a hard time with Soumission. The depiction of Islam as both more vibrant than the west as a culture, yet more savage and inhuman in their manners, is walking a fine line. The sex scenes with a perky Jewess may be the outrage aspect.
