The fragment that I'm about the quote has probably been posted here before, but idc. It pierces my heart like a knife every time I read it, which I often do. Houellebecq is the only one among the great living writers who has dared to depict the incel predicament with unflinching honesty and empathy. I simply cannot read or tolerate other modern fiction writers anymore, because they're all either raging feminist SJWs or insufferable bluepill simps, who churn out reams of insipid nonsense.


— You reckon it's hopeless?

— Sure. It's been hopeless for a long time, from the very beginning. You will never represent, Raphaël, a young girl's erotic dream. You have to resign yourself to the inevitable; such things are not for you. It's already too late, in any case. The sexual failure you've known since your adolescence, Raphaël, the frustration that has followed you since the age of thirteen, will leave their indelible mark. Even supposing that you might have women in the future - which in all frankness I doubt - this will not be enough; nothing will ever be enough. You will always be an orphan to those adolescent loves you never knew. In you the wound is already deep; it will get deeper and deeper. An atrocious, unremitting bitterness will end up gripping your heart. For you there will be neither redemption nor deliverance. That's how it is.

From: Michel Houellebecq, 'Whatever'.
 
I haven't seen this quote before. It's a quite nice description of missing out on teen love.
There's a gay sentimentality seeping out from it, but I'm not surprised given the writer is French.
I gave up reading French prose after trying to read Proust and deciding the French were fags who can't write prose, but I like French poets Baudelaire and Rimbaud (though Rimbaud is gay).

He is brutally based - look at this quote about the same book: "The thesis is that the sexual revolution of the Sixties created not communism but capitalism in the sexual market, that the unattractive underclass is exiled while the privileged initiates are drained by corruption, sloth, and excess."

Elementary particles is pretty good too

I'll have to give it a read.
Right now I'm reading Carl Schmitt in paperback and Cioran on Kindle.
I have a large backlog reading list right now because I'm trying to read about politics, a subject I ignored all my life.
But I might get to this as well, though as I've said I don't like the French except for poetry.

that hits too close to home :feelscry:
 
Real OG if you actually watched the whole movie.

It's brutal. I remember the first time reading it I had to take a pause at that part because I was so amazed, it really captured everything that I had been thinking and feeling.

I didn't like the movie, because they tacked a quasi-happy ending onto it. Spoils it for me tbh. Likewise for the German movie version of Elementary Particles, btw.

I quit the moment I saw how it ends. 80% of it was good though, even if it was overall a bit boring. But thats how life is supposed to be as a cast out
