«Les particules élémentaires» is the novel by Michel Houellebecq, published by J'AI LU in paperback (320 pages, in French).
The novel follows two stepbrothers of opposite characters: Michel, a rational and isolated molecular biologist who channels his emotional emptiness into science and tranquilizers, and Bruno, given over to an unsatisfied quest for sexual pleasure. Their intersecting lives draw a critical portrait of contemporary society, loneliness and the difficulty of love.
This paperback edition from J'AI LU (2019) corresponds to the novel originally published in 1998, winner of the Dublin Literary Award in 2002.
Aimed at readers of contemporary and philosophical fiction who appreciate a critical, provocative and uncompromising look at modern life.
