Michel Houellebecq judge the literary season – Le Figaro

Choose Near Death Experience , the Goncourt in 2010 fails to comply within the life of letters. If he admits to not want to read the secrets of Valerie Trierweiler, he loves beacoup United Emmanuel Carrère.

Despite its presence in theaters, Michel Houellebecq nevertheless keeps a close eye, if not curious, this literary season. The writer confesses that the secrets of the Goncourt continue to escape. So do not seem to understand the absence of the book by Emmanuel Carrère, United in the first list compiled by jurors Drouant.

A book he considers “very good.” The Goncourt 2010 can not help but point out that it is a “stupid” it is not in competition, “Teresa CREMISI (patron saint of his publisher, Flammarion, ed) told me he could not be there because he had the Renaudot or something like that. “

The author of The Map and the Territory also believes that the level of this return is good: “The first book Aurelian Bellanger I liked. I have not yet read the second. “And Gregory Delacour whose latest book, We could see that happiness , was retained on the list of Goncourt? “Mmmmmhhh ( long silence ), I know not.”

A literary season however crushed by Thank you for this moment , the book Valerie Trierweiler (published in arenas and has sold 150,000 copies). Recently asked about it by Canal Plus, Michel Houellebecq was true to himself. He confessed prefer to avoid this type of literature: “I sometimes read his reviews in Paris Match . I find bad so I did not want to read his book. “

It would be wrong to say that Houellebecq is not present in September in bookstores. The writer is at the heart of the work of Bernard Maris. The economist seeks to show that the author of Extension of the fight is impregnated with an “economic intelligence” of the contemporary world. He who sees himself as a beginner to the movies (it is showing Near death experience Gustave Kervern and Benoit Delepine) acknowledges having been a pleasure to discover this by writing an essay its new readers: “It made me enormously happy. We met. He is right to identify in my books Keynesian and Schumpeterian influences. I can not say with authority but I’m glad it validates my view that economics is not based on any serious basis. “
