Williams, Russell, 1977- author. Pathos, poetry and politics in Michel Houellebecq's fiction / by Russell Williams. Leiden, The Netherlands ; Boston : Brill Rodopi, [2020] ©2020 1 online resource. text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource rdacarrier Faux titre ; Volume 437 In Pathos, Poetry and Politics in Michel Houellebecq's fiction, Russell Williams examines the literary style of France's most notorious novelist. Houellebecq is frequently the focus of debate for his provocative comments about Islam and the decline of Western civilisation. This book refocuses attention on how such provocation is an integral part of the texture of his novels. Williams considers Houellebecq's writing about literature and outlines the key principles of the author's poetics, founded on an acute sensitivity to reading experience. He then explores Houellebecq's earliest poetry before mapping this poetic voice into his subsequent fiction, including Sérotonine (2019). Houellebecq's relationship with genre fiction and the crucial issue of the authorial persona that exists in and around his texts are also explored.
