Title: a big disappointment
Product review: I must say that I read this book in the Italian translation, _Estensione del dominio della lotta_ (that is to say, a literal version of the original title). So, maybe I missed something (in my opinion, the language is very important).In any case, how can critics and readers say that Houellebecq is a great writer? He seems to me only to be a pale, pathetic imitator of Louis-Ferdinand Céline. With a notable difference: Céline was a true cynic, a man with no morality at all, and his absolute perfidy succeeeds in reaching sublimity.On the opposite side, Houellebecq seems to me only an awkward schoolboy, trying to represent sexual degradation and repulsiveness just like a preacher could do.Psychiatric help requested (unless Houellebecq's girl-friend, Michelle Lévy, can do something better)....
