"Calculated to poke, prod, engorge, enrage and amuse. ...
It's dangerous in the way that literature is meant to be dangerous -that is, it awakens neglected sensibilities."
- The New York Observer
In his new work, Michel Houellebecg combines erotic provocation with a terrifying vision of a world teetering between satiety and fanaticism, to create one of the most shock-ing, hypnotic, and intelligent novels in years.
In his early forties, Michel Renault skims through his days with as little human contact
as possible. But following his father's death he takes a group holiday to Thailand where he meets a travel agent - the shyly compelling Valérie - who begins to bring this half-dead man to life with sex of escalating intensity and audacity. Arcing with dreamlike swiftness from Paris to Pattaya Beach and from sex clubs to a terrorist massacre, Platform is a brilliant, apocalyptic masterpiece by a man who is widely regarded as one of the world's most original and daring writers.
"Houellebecq's writing has a raw, disquieting brilliance. ... It's
'genius.
.'" -The Washington Post
"Brilliant, charming, puzzling, annoying and sometimes downright repulsive." - The Denver Post
