Title: The Elementary Particles Author: Michel Houellebecq ISBN: 9780375727016 Publisher: Vintage Published: 2001 Binding: Paperback Language: English Edition: Soft Cover Number of Pages: 272 Condition Note: New from the publisher Publisher Description: An international literary phenomenon, The Elementary Particles is a frighteningly original novel-part Marguerite Duras and part Bret Easton Ellis-that leaps headlong into the malaise of contemporary existence. Bruno and Michel are half-brothers abandoned by their mother, an unabashed devotee of the drugged-out free-love world of the sixties. Bruno, the older, has become a raucously promiscuous hedonist himself, while Michel is an emotionally dead molecular biologist wholly immersed in the solitude of his work. Each is ultimately offered a final chance at genuine love, and what unfolds is a brilliantly caustic and unpredictable tale. Translated from the French by Frank Wynne.
