Houellebecq romancier catholique et socialiste
Abstract
The hidden line of reasoning in Houellebecq’s work opposes to modern “critical” society hope or nostalgia for an “organic” society, just as the Saint-Simonians did. The logical complement to Houellebecq’s systematic anti-liberalism is nostalgia for both medieval Catholicism and nineteenth-century French and English socialism.
