A review by philadelphiamusicjon
The Map and the Territory by Michel Houellebecq

5.0

I've always enjoyed Houellenbacq's work but this is the best yet. In many ways this book is like his other books theme wise, he very accurately tells the story of this modern world and asks questions which we are not used to being asked, questions of loneliness, aging, the value of human communication in modern times, the oddness of sex, but in this book he does not go on any of the tangents on sex or quasi sci-fi that he has gone to in all of his other books that i have read, though writing a very subtle story that cuts the line between truth and fiction very thin.
Loved it!
