Whatever: A Novel

by Michel Houellebecq, Paul Hammond

Whatever: A Novel - Thryft
Whatever: A Novel - Thryft

Grimly humorous exploration of modern existential crisis.

If you're intrigued by characters who navigate through the drudgery of modern life with a sardonic wit, "Whatever" could be your literary comrade. Michel Houellebecq's protagonist is an emblem of the discontent that festers beneath the surface of a seemingly successful life. The novel's blend of bleakness and humor offers an unvarnished look at the absurdities of the technocratic world, resonating with anyone who's questioned the point of it all.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Just thirty, with a well-paid job, depression and no love life, the narrator and anti-hero par excellence of this grim, funny, and clever novel smokes four packs of cigarettes a day and writes weird animal stories in his spare time. Houellebecq's debut novel is a painfully realistic portrayal of the vanishing freedom of a world governed by science and by the empty rituals of daily life.
