Une certaine ingénuité Michel Houellebecq
- Publication type: Article from a collective work
- Collective work: L’Unité de l’œuvre de Michel Houellebecq
- Author: Dupuy (Valérie)
- Abstract: Houellebecq’s work can be compared to Montesquieu’s Lettres persanes since it frequently assigns the job of looking at society to an outside character who, as a foreigner or a tourist, paints an objective, lucid and disturbing picture. This picture is often humorous and impervious to ready-made discourses, be they commercial, literary or conventional.
