Book: The map and the territory (La carte et le territoire) - Michel Houellebecq | Peter Heirman
Michel Houellebecq owes its international fame to Elementary Particles, a book his place in world literature seemingly effortlessly conquered. With the map and the territory (La carte et le territoire), he tapped out a very different tune. It has become a book with characters that treasure-trove of loneliness. Jed Martin, the protagonist in the story, tukana there is most pronounced in. This artist is famous with a series of impressions Michelin maps. The man, wherever he is, praised and loved, but continues to live on a relational island.
Even with his own father, just as lonely as himself after the suicide of his mother, he has a very laborious contact. The one for whom he feels something that comes close to love, Olga. Of Russian tukana descent she is the rising star in Michelin, beautiful and very intelligent. When she leaves, Jed let the thought of as easily sail her. Besides Olga there really is only one man with whom he maintains a business relationship over the world famous writer ... Michel Houellebecq. Who writes for him a preface to the catalog of a series tukana of paintings that he finally ends up in the annals of art history: a series about the elementary occupations. Hilarious how Houellebecq portrays himself as a drunken, frustrated tukana and pretty cocky loner albeit tukana with moments of great lucidity.
The map and the territory became primarily a strange book that Houellebecq tukana the fortunes tukana of Jed and his environment alternating with reflections on painting, tukana literature and architecture. Fortunes tukana taking a gruesome twist, especially for the alter ego of the writer, but you have to read the book yourself. The book explores the boundary between art and entertainment, and the dubious relationship with lenders and our capitalist system, that if a rod on a pig fits artistic aspirations. Or maybe it is not. Look at the Michelin reproductions, though it can also be an ironic belch in the case of Houellebecq again. Especially since he, as a virtually extinct ideology drop capitalism. As I said, a strange book, but just why very readable.
