Houellebecq's writing may be tired but his characters are devastating.
>Lying in his tent, ... Raindrops splashed dully on the canvas; though only inches from his face, they could not touch him here. He had a sudden premonition that all his life would be like this moment. Emotion would pass him by, sometimes very close. Others would experience happiness and despair, but such things would be unknown to him, they would not touch him. Several times that evening Annabelle had looked over at him while she danced. Though he had wanted to, he simply could not move; he felt as though his body were slipping into icy water. Still, everything seemed strangely calm. He felt separated from the world by a vacuum molded to his body like a shell, a protective armor.

I agree, beautiful book. Individuals with lives of modern devastation that lead to a collective human redemption. An ode to our stuggle. I also remember a bit from the character Michel's writings in Ireland at the end of the book but don't have the quote on here.
