"A terrific writer, funny and prophetic . . . feverishly alive to the world around him." The New York Times Book Review "Calculated to poke, prod, engorge, enrage and amuse. . . . It's dangerous in the way that literature is meant to be dangerous-that is, it awakens neglected sensibilities."-The New York Observer "Houellebecq's writing has a raw, disquieting brilliance. . . .It's 'genius.'"-The Washington Post "Brilliant, charming, puzzling, annoying and sometimes downright repulsive." -The Denver Post "Full, acidic, self-flagellating . . . [Platform has] earned Mr. Houellebecq the status of conversation piece, agent provocateur and savage messiah." -The New York Times "Remarkable . . . hilarious. . . . [Houellebecq] writes from the soul of a despairing, acutely lucid bureaucrat on Viagra." -Los Angeles Times Book Review "Scaldingly honest . . . [Platform] takes no prisoners as to prevailing terms of politically correct or any-other-way-correct discourse. . . . It frequently uses jarring juxtaposition to dislocate us from complacencies, received wisdoms or even moderate comfort. . . . The analysis is broad and extremely knowledgeable . . . [with] quirky and sometimes horrific observations on everything from ecology to airport gift shops to incest. . . . Bracing." -St. Louis Post-Dispatch "The most potentially weighty French novelist to emerge since Tournier. . . . The trajectory of Houellebecq's world view will be worth following." -The New Yorker "An outstandingly powerful and relevant novel about sex, death, and Islam." -Hanif Kureishi "Astute, graceful, sexually preoccupied, occasionally alarming. . . . Eviscerat[es] the cultural moment." -The Baltimore Sun "The characters in Platform are detestable. . . . And the hatred [Michel] expresses . . . is loathsome. . . . But what is wrong with this? Why should literature not be as cruel as life itself? . . . This book offers us an 'I' we can relate tohate, love, fearwithout being pointedly obstructed by the author's tormented cosmology. . . . Moving." -San Francisco Chronicle "Brilliant. . . . Reads like a shot. . . . The excitement of Platform is the force with which Houellebecq says the unsayable, his determination to cut through moral equivocation." -Salon "[A] dirty novel of ideas. . . . Houellebecq's sex scenes are hot and bountiful." -Entertainment Weekly "An extraordinary blend of pornography, satire and diatribe . . . Houellebecq is an undeniably gifted writerI found myself reading on, even when the impulse to throw the book across the room grew strong." -Charles Matthews, San Jose Mercury News "Odd, subversive entertainment." -The Boston Globe "What's at stake is the desacralizing of sex, its final leap into the realm of pure commodity, the role of implacable consumption in cultural imperialism. . . . It's not the kind of book you only read once." -The Village Voice "Cynical and anomic . . . literary and complex."

Synopsis
In his new work, Michel Houellebecq combines erotic provocation with a terrifying vision of a world teetering between satiety and fanaticism, to create one of the most shocking, hypnotic, and intelligent novels in years. In his early forties, Michel Renault skims through his days with as little human contact as possible. But following his father's death he takes a group holiday to Thailand where he meets a travel agent--the shyly compelling Val rie--who begins to bring this half-dead man to life with sex of escalating intensity and audacity. Arcing with dreamlike swiftness from Paris to Pattaya Beach and from sex clubs to a terrorist massacre, Platform is a brilliant, apocalyptic masterpiece by a man who is widely regarded as one of the world's most original and daring writers., In his new work, Michel Houellebecq combines erotic provocation with a terrifying vision of a world teetering between satiety and fanaticism, to create one of the most shocking, hypnotic, and intelligent novels in years.

Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustration
