Query: Fiction at the Edge

Every now and then, a novel comes along that reminds us that the novel does not have to be the genteel commodity that dominates bookstore shelves--sold like Martha Steward's towels and designed as well. Then a book like Houellebecq's Elementary Particles comes along and reminds us that the power of a work of art often resides in shaking us out of of our easy assumptions. It is, in short, not a Hollywood movie disguised as a book, not an easy read meant to be consumed in an airport, but a work of art.
