Review title: Ideas
Product review: The storyline of "The Elementary Particles" is really fairly simple: two half-brothers (one a sex-obsessed, self-loathing teacher, and the other a distant, emotionally detached scientist) find redemptive, middle-aged romance, lose it, and then meet their fates. However, there's a LOT going on in this book. While recounting the stories of half-brothers Bruno and Michel, the author bombards the reader with ideas; about science, sex, family, religion, philosophy, sociology and the human condition. Yet somehow the books remains an engaging and enjoyable read, never seeming dry or pretentious.Michel Houellebecq is my new favorite writer. I'd also recommend the political sex-fest of "Platform".
