SEROTONIN - MICHEL HOUELLEBECQ KARTONIERT (TB)

THE MOST IMPORTANT FRENCH BOOK OF THE YEAR___________________'One cannot be said to be keeping
abreast of contemporary literature without reading Houellebecq's work.' Karl Ove Knausgaard 
New York TimesDissatisfied and discontent  Florent-Claude Labrouste begrudgingly works as an
engineer for the Ministry of Agriculture  and is in a self-imposed dysfunctional relationship
with a younger woman. When he discovers her ongoing infidelity  he decides to abandon his life
in Paris and return to the Normandy countryside of his youth. There he contemplates lost loves
and past happiness as he struggles to embed himself in a world that no longer holds any joy for
him. His only relief comes in the form of a pill - white  oval  small. Captorix is a new brand
of anti-depressant  recently released for public consumption  which works by altering the
brain's release of serotonin. With social unrest intensifying around him  and his own
depression deepening  Florent-Claude turns to this new medication in the hope that he will find
something to live for. Written by one of the most provocative and prophetic novelists of his
generation  Serotonin is at once a devastating story of solitude  longing and individual
suffering  and a powerful criticism of modern life.
