Houellebecq's new novel tells the story of an attempt to create a package-holiday company for sex-tourists. Less philosophical and grandly ambitious than Atomised, it is, if anything, even more outrageously funny and bitingly satirical of the ways we live now than the earlier novel. Added to which, there is a genuinely moving love affair, real characters and a real plot!

Review:
‘A brilliant novel... English novels rather fell by the wayside in comparison’ -- Anita Brookner in the Observer ‘Books of the Year’ (2001)
‘Just amazing - there’s a sod-you bravura akin to the young Martin Amis/middle-period Burgess/late Nabokov/most of all, the DeLillo of Libra’ -- Jonathan Meades in the Observer ‘Books of the Year’ (2001)

Michel Houellebecq’s follow-up to the international bestseller Atomised takes him international, into the world of sex-tourism and cultural globalisation.
