Reading guide

  

'Who among you deserves eternal life?'
Houellebecq's dazzling new novel, which moves between Paris, Andalucia and Lanzarotte, and between the near and far-distant future, is a thought provoking, sometimes shocking, and ultimately moving examination of the modern world, the trials of old age and the death of love. Written with the ferocity and candour that has characterised all his work, it will delight Houellebeq's fans, and win him many thousands more.

 

'provocative and satisfying fiction.'

Sam Phipps
