Annihilation

The most interesting novelist of our timesEvening Standard

Michel Houellebecq’s new book proves he is one of the world’s greatest novelists . . . He writes superbly . . . In England . . . we have no one, male or female, to match HouellebecqThe Daily Telegraph

Surely the most important novelist to have been publishing not only in France but in all of Europe over the past three decades.David Sexton, The Sunday Times

A compassionate, deeply affecting novel about love and death and the way we treat the dying . . . worthy of Balzac . . . telling truths that come straight from Pascal. We can only hope that it is not Houellebecq's swansong, after allThe Spectator
