Michel Houellebecq · 2015
A speaker recommends a book written by someone else.
“You mentioned Michel Huyebeck, Submission. That's come up many times on CWT as well. It's the most classic work of fiction of the last 20 years, I would say.”
Why: It rewards rereads, is short, and has more to it than you think on the first read.
