In 2022 I will observe Ramadan." Houellebecq had previously described Islam as "the stupidest of religions." But on that day, as terrorists sought to bring the justice of Islam to blasphemers for whom Michel Houellebecq was insufficiently anti-Islamic, Houellebecq's novel Submission , depicting the democratic conquest of France by the Muslim Brotherhood, was published by Flammarion. In this collection, an international cast of authorities on politics and literature discuss the meaning and unprecedented impact of Michel Houellebecq's Submission. 410 0$aFaux Titre Series ;$vVolume 454. 606 $aNihilism in literature 607 $aFrance$xIntellectual life$y21st century 615 0$aNihilism in literature. 676 $a745.05 702 $aKochin$b Michael Shalom$f1970- 702 $aSpektorowski$b Alberto$f1952- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795329003321 996 $aMichel Houellebecq, the Cassandra of Freedom$93681476 997 $aUNINA
