Product Description
THE ECONOMIST
'His deftly constructed novel is a bleak comment on contemporary society, at times funny, brutal and revolting.'
Review
'takes you by the throat and shakes you. A bracing mix of visionary Aldous Huxley, Evelyn Waugh at his cruellest, and ranting John Osborne, THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ISLAND is a charging bull in the china shop of modern fiction.' (David Coward THE TLS )
'His deftly constructed novel is a bleak comment on contemporary society, at times funny, brutal and revolting.' (THE ECONOMIST )
'THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ISLAND is above all an aesthetic achievement. For this, Houellebecq should win the Prix Goncourt that polemics and personalities have made so elusive.' (THE SCOTSMAN )
'an exhilarating writer....in a class of his own.' (Sebastian Shakespeare LITERARY REVIEW )
'there is no doubt that he is a writer who deserves the serious attention that he is now receiving.' (Douglas Kennedy THE TIMES )
'provocative and satisfying fiction.' (Sam Phipps THE HERALD )
'the novel is essential reading for anyone concerned with the state of either contemporary fiction or the contemporary world.' (Michael Arditti THE DAILY MAIL )
'there are passages of irresistible black humour, savage condemnation and genuine (and surprising) sentiment.' (Tim Martin THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY )
'if you liked ATOMISED and PLATFORM, you'll love THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ISLAND..... the most talented of current French writers.' (Tibor Fischer SUNDAY TELEGRAPH )
'It will sicken you, reduce you to laughter and stun you with its savage directness, but it will always leave you thinking.' (SPAIN MAGAZINE )
'the first 300 pages of this novel prove that Houellebecq is one of the best novelists writing today.' (Matt Cherry INDPENDENPENT ON SUNDAY )
