Like its acclaimed predecessor The Elementary Particles (1998), Michel Houellebecq'a latest novel projects an evolutionary future in which homo sapiens have been surpassed. The seeds of that future lie in a series of events witnessed by Daniel-a misanthropic, iconoclastic, and world-famous comedian on the brink of old age and sexual decline. As with Houellebecq's other narrators, Daniel's story reads like a reductio ad absurdum of Schopenhauer, Darwin, and Freud.

It was an "our song" years ago another man, not my husband, one I wisely didn't marry and it remains evocative of youth and love and promise. This is a fantasy trip. On this trip, I am not a tourist but someone contemplating a move to this island. Once, in my childhood, such contemplation was the real deal.
