Whatever contains within it the raw materials that would later be refined in Houellebecq's later works, particularly themes regarding the emptiness of modern life and the alienation it imposes on its inhabitants. I could see most people hating this book particularly Houellebecq's diatribes regarding sex although I personally found them hilarious. In one monologue, the main character reflects on how sexual liberalism much like economic liberalism (free market capitalism) produces a state of absolute pauperization in which sex and capital are unequally accumulated resulting in social conditions in which
"...certain people accumulate considerable fortunes; others stagnate in unemployment and misery.". Likewise, "...certain people have a varied and exciting erotic life; others are reduced to masturbation and solitude.". Its sounds like a greentext from /r9k/ making it hard to believe this was published in 1994, well before Tindr.

Houellebecq's first novel is a glimpse into his formative future, touching upon the subject matter, language and philosophical conflicts with the modern world. I really enjoyed this one. If your a fan of Houellebecq you should definitely give this a read.

Je m'interdisais de lire cet auteur. Il a fallu qu'un mec mignon m'en parle pour que je sois faible et me decide à mourir moins bête sans en attendre grand chose.
C'est mysogine, à la limite de l'apologie de la violence domestique. Cet homme semble un être misérablement frustré sexuellement et sentimentalement et préfère le mettre sur le dos des femmes que sur ses propres turpitudes.
