Just thirty, with a well-paid job, no love life and a terrible
attitude, the anti-hero of this grim, funny novel smokes four packs
of cigarettes a day and writes weird animal stories in his spare
time. A computer programmer by day, he is tolerably content, until
he's packed off with a colleague - the sexually-frustrated Raphael
Tisserand - to train provincial civil servants in the use of a new
computer system Houellebecq's first novel was a smash hit in
France, expressing the misanthropic voice of a generation. Like A
Confederacy of Dunces, Houellebecq's bitter, sarcastic and
exasperated narrator vociferously expresses his frustration and
disgust with the world.
