"Women are easier to shock," "prostitution, I find it very well. This is not so poorly paid, as a profession ... "," The religion most con is still Islam. " Provocation, Michel Houellebecq has worn every hole during the first years of intensive media coverage. Shock, subvert, this was his creed, both in interviews, where Houellebecq's character has been built, as in his novels, magnifier vilely deformans of the lower human nature. But after more than fifteen years of loyal service to literature, recognition of his peers through awards and other trophies, was still not at the rendezvous. So with map and territory, appears a Houellebecq new man. Affable, consensus, not a word louder than the other, the depression's most famous bang settles down in the media. Next
curve significantly different (it is not yet good mainstream media client), but ultimately leading to the induction by the same elites, punk Despentes, formerly known as the author of Kiss me, calm it Apocalypse as the game baby, the price Renaudot vintage 2010, forget the aggressive biting his debut and turned to prose smoother, homosexuality and gentrified but still claimed a media image more in line the canons of communication. And it pays. Who would have guessed ten years ago on these two "losers" to the beautiful expression devastating? Which could then consider Houellebecq and Despentes as paragons of French literature, dubbed by an elite dusty three-piece suit?
In 2009, Marc-Edouard Nabe, nominated this year but flunked Renaudot, reported in The Twenty-seventh book of Houellebecq this advice: "If you want readers, put yourself at their level! Make yourself a character as flat, fuzzy, poor, ugly and shameful than him. That's the secret, Marc-Edouard. You, you too want to raise the reader of land prevail in the skies of your crazy love of life and men! ... It's complex, it humiliates, and therefore it fails you, you reject it, then eventually you despise and hate you ... "
Marketing Board has not followed that Nabe (hence its ostracization microcosm of Parisian literary?) But seems to have worked for the author of the extension field of struggle and to a lesser extent Despentes (although we have seen this year or promo Ruquier Denisot). Reversal of profound codes appointment of dignitaries from the world of letters or vampire of subversion by the system, it is clear As the year 2010 creates an important precedent, at least in appearance. Between Makine (A French Testament, 1995), Ruffin (Red Brazil 2001) or Van Cauwelaert (One Way, 1994) and Picouly Houellebecq (The Child Leopard, 1999), Bouraoui (My Bad Thoughts, 2005) or Pennac ( Chagrin School, 2007) for Despentes, the selection of jurors are to coexist authors less heterogeneous. But with last year Beigbeder (Renaudot), perhaps Franz-Olivier Giesbert (juror) and his cronies are they trying to rejuvenate the image of the price, even rewarding all-round, works undeserving. As for the Goncourt, too often perceived as a price for the great literature, maybe they have wanted s'auréoler the (fire), scent of scandal Houellebecq troublemaker?
shame that it took the wiser of the two media and literary brats Houellebecq and Despentes to honor them. Kiss me and Platform have deserved much better to enter the pantheon that their latest offspring.
