SEROTONIN - MICHEL HOUELLEBECQ KARTONIERT (TB)

LONGLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE 2020    A powerful criticism of modern life by
one of the most provocative and prophetic writers of our age   Florent-Claude Labrouste is
dying of sadness. Despised by his girlfriend and on the brink of career failure  his last hope
for relief comes in the form of a newly available antidepressant that alters the brain's
release of serotonin.  When he returns to the Normandy countryside in search of serenity  he
instead finds a rural community left behind by globalisation and red-tape agricultural policies
with local farmers longing for an impossible return towhat they remember as a golden age.  
'Despite its provocations  this is a novel of romantic and sorrowful ideas: Houellebecq as
troubadour  singing lost loves' Rachel Kushner    Michel Houellebecq has good claim to be the
most interesting novelist of our times . . . E xhilarating in its nihilism  often very funny
and always enjoyable' Evening Standard
