Description
Michel Houellebecq is one of the most widely read French writers in the world. He is the author of the famous bestsellers “Atomized,” “Platform,” “Submission,” “Serotonin,” a winner of the Goncourt Prize, and a Knight of the Legion of Honour. In his new novel “Annihilate,” the action takes place in 2027. Humanity is threatened by an elusive terrorist organization, and all intelligence services are on high alert. Meanwhile in France, preparations for presidential elections are in full swing. The book’s main character, Paul Raison, finds himself at the center of election intrigue. Absorbed by his work in the ministry of the economy, he has long grown accustomed to the cold relationship with his wife and his own loneliness. Suddenly the steady course of his life is disrupted: he receives news that his father has been struck by a stroke. Paul travels to his father’s house—his childhood home—and plunges into family problems. His life changes dramatically… The novel unfolds on several layers: it is at once a political thriller and a family saga in a world on the brink of chaos.
