Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Houellebecq's acclaimed take on the Thai sex trade and human relationships. 22,000 copies sold in hardback (quadruple the hardback sales of "Atomised", indicating massive growth). National press ads and flyposting to support. "Reading Houellebecq is never deflating; it is, rather, a source of constant inspiration and delight. Would that we could produce his like in England" "Observer".

Synopsis:

When he comes into some money, Michel takes a leave of absence from his Civil Service job and embarks on a package tour to Thailand, where he meets Valerie. This leads to an attempt to set up a package-holiday company based on the idea of sexual tourism in the Third World.
