Haven't read him yet. His novels font couler beaucoup d'encre in the french literary world (and beyong), always acclamed and sometimes very controversial. The most important french writer according to many critics. His last book talked about the western man loneliness meeting the indigent oriental women, money-sex and everyone is happy. Anyway I haven't read it, maybe you could explain it better for me? I think I will start with Les Particules Elementaires, is it the right choice or should I go with earlier books?
