Houellebecq suffers too much from his persona.
He marketed himself as a sad, sexually frustrated racist French man writing books about flat main characters only able to cry and whine and be pathetic and relatable to his cockroach readers.
He's a much more interesting person than what he made himself like, he could shine if he had stopped posturing after writing Atomised and picked a different path.
He is legitimately talented as a writer, and it shows even in his books.
He is tired to write like this and even his readers are sick of it but he can't go back at this point.

When Melville wrote Moby-Dick he was best known for sunny schlock about banging Polynesian women

That's pretty funny.
I remember reading about this, they called him the "man who lived among the cannibals".

Houellebecq suffers... From being a French fag. Sadly, there is no cure

Submission had the potential to be based but it's just boring tales of a beta. If he kept the angry vibes from atomised he would be a goat
