Michel Houellebecq /// The Map And The Territory

Writing about the future but not starting there. And slipping into it with assured fluidity, same way he passes from place to place and topic to topic: a curvaceous, cloverleafed superhighway traveled by luxury sedan. An elegant solution to the annoyance of the author popping up as a character. Possibly—probably—a thriller. His best since The Elementary Particles at least. Last line to ice the blood. Keep an eye on plants, I’d say … they manifest space; they are space; they’re living.    

WRONG COVER.
