The Elementary Particles
By Michel HouellebecqThe central characters, Bruno and Michel, were born to a bohemian mother (but they had different fathers, of course) at the height of the sixties. Following her inevitable divorce, they endured separate childhoods and developed distinct identities. Bruno - a failure to his own family and literary calling - is pursued by sexual obsession and madness. Michel - a wholly asexual molecular biologist - expresses his disgust with society by engineering one that frees mankind at last from its uncontrollable, destructive urges.
