I don't know how any of you non-french read this. The translations all have terrible prose.

His original prose isn't otherworldy fantastic though. Does the job but nothing special. Houellebecq's power lies in images and situations he puts his characters in, not in his sensibility to beauty or fancy style.
Or maybe it's just me not getting it. After all, French is not even my second language.
