Pathetic. You know jack shit about French lit. Where are Racine, Apollinaire, Ronsard, Verlaine, Villon, Vigny, Gautier Corneille, Rimbaud, Hugo, Balzac, Maupassant, Aragon, Stendhal, Céline, Chateaubriand, Valéry? In what world is Baudelaire two tiers above Flaubert and Molière? Montaigne is an essayist for heaven's sake. Go read some books.

How shockingly young? Maybe your hair just hasnt fully grown in yet.

"When you read the Koran, you're shattered. The Bible at least is beautifully written because the Jews have a heck of a literary talent."

>tfw Houellebecq is better than all of Islamic lit.

When did reality become so ugly?

When do you stop being a "young" author?

I just read a review of Houellebecq's poetry which says:

>"1991 was a landmark year for the young poet: he published his first volume of poems, La Poursuite du Bonheur (Éditions de la Différence); Rester Vivant, an inspirational “méthode” or survival guide for aspiring poets; an edited volume of the poems of Remy de Gourmont; and an essay exploring the work of H. P. Lovecraft, where he highlighted the “poésie” within the fantasy writer’s style."

In 1991 he would have been about 35. Is this really young?

Because I'm a racist misogynist NEET who dream of a time were I would be respected and powerful.
