Jahedul Islam jikhan9267ce — A computer game (Betrayal at Krondor) based upon a book series... was turned into a book. I can't blame anything that meta that also has wizards named pug and describes the battles in the game in ridiculous, boring book detail. Turning the title around and adding a comma? Brilliant.

Leandro Colantoni leancolanbe9e — I'm tired of being human; I wanna be post-human. A start with an aside: an old professor once described his experience of being asked to defend Naked Lunch during its trial in Britain against charges of pornography. My professor declined to defend the book not because he deemed it pornographic, but because it already had enough defenders of a status high enough to insure that it didn't get banned and because he wasn't sure, at that early age in his career, whether or not he wanted his name attached to that defense; his own private verdict was that in order to be pornographic the work in question would have to contain as its aim (or main purpose) the arousal of the reader, and he personally didn't find the book all that arousing; he went so far as to claim that anyone who would be aroused or titilated by the book probably had more issues to begin with than would be caused by reading. All of this is a preface to a consideration of Houellebecq's sex-drenched work. Readers often seem initially put off by Houellebecq for the sex (once they get beyond that, they usually find something else disturbing, and often for good reason; there seems to be something in this work to offend everyone); but is the massive amount of sex pornographic? Is it aimed at (mere (or perhaps not merely mere)) arousal? I don't think it is. Reading this book is a bit like reading de Sade; there's an initial titilation, then a realization of the relentlessly mechanistic rhetoric (and view) of this particular human interaction, and then a kind of coldness sets in... At its best moments, Elementary Particles is a shreddingly funny argument for the elimination of the human species (we can evolve ourselves beyond our stupid, violent, ridiculous selves, so why not), and though it's funny, I'm not entirely certain it's a joke. Houellebecq takes the idea of moving beyond the human to a literal place; that leads to questions of what, exactly, it means to be human, and the book focuses on the extremes of a binary, Schopenhaurian Michel, Nietzschean Bruno. Most of the sex-obsessed passages come out of Bruno's meandering life (most of the funniest too), but at the end what happens to Bruno suggests that his method of existence is exemplary of what's flawed in humanity and must be eliminated. That in itself is a disturbing thought; we're back to Nazis again. Houellebecq finally has enough decency, though, to suggest that humanity doesn't need, necessarily, to be killed off, it can do the job itself just fine. I'm not trying to overlook the obvious flaws in the book (some repetition, sections can get drawn on a bit long), nor am I trying to downplay the mysogyny or the racism (though those aspects of Houellebecq's books are more complicated than his detractors usually admit; the context for the mysogyny and the racism is usually slippery in terms of identification or excoriation); but I would like to suggest that Elementary Particles, and Houellebecq's books in general, can be read in terms of the search for a post-human superstructure on which to hang the human (pun intended; sorry). Here it's science, later it's economics (Platform; even more sex-drenched), but in both books the questions seem to be the same: what is this subject and how do we represent it within the systems that it composed to compose it?
