the map and the territory review
the bitter frenchman solidifies himself as one of my favourite authors.
To see what your friends thought of this book, Just finished the last thirty wonderfully flowing and surprising pages that end with the total domination of vegetation and then went back to the first lines namedropping Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst and said aloud "Ha, what a great book." [there's a brutal murder, and sadly the murder is resolved, and even more sadly the murderer is dead so that no (psychological) explanation is necessary.
A map on the scale of one to 500,000 is useful for most purposes, but you cannot expect it to show every bend in the road or every dirt track leading north. I guess it is a kind of heavy loneliness.
Hayek’s argument why neither central planning nor forecasting can succeed because of “limits to knowledge” that all suffer from. There's no more place for enthusiasm, belief and faith, and there remains just gentle resignation, a sad and reciprocal pity, the useless but correct sensation that something could have happened, that you just simply showed yourself unworthy of this gift you had been offered.”, “Life sometimes offers you a chance, he thought, but when you are too cowardly or too indecisive to seize it life takes the cards away; there is a moment for doing things and entering a possible happiness, and this moment lasts a few days, sometimes a few weeks or even a few months, but it happens once and one time only, and if you want to return to it later it's quite simply impossible. The people described are college students, Arab women with young children and pensioners.
Too cold for my taste but terribly clever. The themes are basically the same, but Michel Houellebecq tells the tale again with great energy and in a large tongue in cheek manner. My first Houellebecq, and certainly not my last. The other textual parts are Houellebecq's fascination with what people do on their 'free' time - the need to be a tourist in 21st Century life as well as the issue of aging, fame, and the beauty of maps.
It is that, for his new exhibition, he has secured the involvement of none other than the French novelist Michel Houellebecq. 5-star review - recognizing and including the caveat that "The Map and the Territory" was exactly what I needed exactly when I needed it and that on its own merit alone, it's not a perfect or classic novel. IN a world where any kind of human comfort is the exception, or, in the case of the Detective, some kind of homey surrender, in a world where euthanasia is now more popular than sex (Houellebecq has a euthanasia clinic and a brothel on the same street; no wonder to which one he depicts all the boomers as heading), then maybe only work, and a fair app. The more successful Jed becomes professionally, the looser and more disorganized his personal life becomes. Jed Martin is a man in his 30s looking for the right art to make a living.
