Michel Houellebecq

The narrator is unhappy with life. He admits to the reader that he has a well paying job, and is able, should he wish, to engage in intercourse with a woman (though he hasn't for some time). On the surface he should be fine, but the surface of a matter is never its whole. The narrator is pummelled by the rampant commercialisation of everything, the commodification of love, of work, of one's own sense of worth. Notches on the bedside have become, for the people with whom he reluctantly socialises, more important than the quality of the experience. In a numbers game, all that matters is more, and the narrator feels that everything is being boiled down to integers and arithmetic. He idles away his evenings writing bizarre stories involving animals in horrifically violent scenes, their bodies butchered as they expound on various philosophic, economic and political themes.
