Is my philosophy major friend right, dudes? If not, where do

>philosophy major
>doesn't know him

Don't associate with this creep any more.

But he is my countryman

but Houellebecq is the edgiest of edgemasters. Your friend was right, he's just another french meme.

Atomized is the book of the century

>>9807931
Im pretty sure he was an extra in Lord of the Rings

>philosophy major
yes
t. philosophy major

>>9809766
i meant no

Don't waste your time with him. Some things he said might be true but it's the edginess he use to make it not worthwhile.

He's edgy but you should still read him. Start with Whatever (Extension du domaine de la lutte) and then read The Elementary Particles. Ignore everything else he wrote.

yea I found his edginess is thoroughly enjoyable to read but his ideas are seductive and dangerous for a younger man

You already lost the literary war when Rimbaud fled for Africa. Find another nationality.

higher res houellebecq for the lols

I hada dream I was sitting next to Houllebecq. He wore a wife beater tucked into baggy cargo pants, and he was playing piano and singing, while this song was playing:

Then he turned around and held his pinky to my throat, which had a long, sharpened nail on it, at least an inch and a half long. He made a kind of joking threat, and we laughed, and then we started chatting about niggers.

Half of the book is spent describing the activity going on in Brunos cock.

I liked his Lovecraft book. I could take or leave the rest. hoping for a good translation of his poetry though. I'd say if you feel disaffected and are a trve outsider then he's relevant.

Sure, go for it, just keep in mind that when people here talk about him as the greatest writer of the 21st century, they don't mean “he's the greatest writer of the 21st century, his writing is so skillfull,” they mean “he's the greatest writer of the 21st century because I agree with him.”

Is he going to make me joyfully hate and despise myself like confederacy of dunces does?

Literally the other way around
