MICHEL
HDUELLEBECQ
IS
FRANCE S
MOST FAMOUS AND CONTROVERSIAL
LIVING
NOVELIST.
SINCE
HIS
FIRST
NOVEL IN 1994,
HOUELLEBECQ S WORK HAS
BEEN
CALLED POR-
NOGRAPHIC, RACIST, SEXIST, ISLAMOPHOBIC, AND
VULGAR. HIS CARICATURE APPEARED ON THE
COVER
OF
THE FRENCH SATIRICAL WEEKLY CHARLIE HEBDO
ON
JANUARY 7, 2015, THE DAY THAT ISLAMIST
MILI-
TANTS
KILLED
TWELVE PEOPLE IN AN ATTACK ON THEIR
OFFICES AND
ALSO
THE DAY THAT HIS MOST RECENT
NOVEL, SOUMISSION*THE STORY
OF
FRANCE IN 2022
UNDER A MUSLIM PRESIDENT*APPEARED IN BOOK-
STORES. WITHOUT GOD
USES
RELIGION AS A LENS TO
EXAMINE HOW HOUELLEBECQ
GIVES
VOICE TO THE
UNDERSIDE
OF
THE PROGRESSIVE
ETHOS
THAT HAS AN-
IMATED
FRENCH AND WESTERN SOCIAL,
POLITICAL,
AND
RELIGIOUS THOUGHT
SINCE
THE
1960S.
FOCUSING ON HOUELLEBECQ S COMPLICATED RELA-
TIONSHIP
WITH
RELIGION, LOUIS BETTY
SHOWS
THAT
THE NOVELIST, WHO IS AT
BEST
AGNOSTIC, IS A
DEEPLY AND UNAVOIDABLY RELIGIOUS WRITER. IN
EXPLORING
THE RELIGIOUS, THEOLOGICAL, AND
PHIL-
OSOPHICAL
ASPECTS
OF HOUELLEBECQ S WORK, BETTY
SITUATES THE AUTHOR
WITHIN
THE BROADER CONTEXT
OF
A
FRENCH
AND
ANGLO-AMERICAN HISTORY
OF
IDEAS*IDEAS
SUCH
AS
UTOPIAN SOCIALISM,
THE
SOCIOLOGY
OF
SECULARIZATION,
AND
QUANTUM
PHYSICS. MATERIALISM, BETTY CONTENDS,
IS THE
TRUE
DESTROYER OF HUMAN INTIMACY AND
SPIRITU-
ALITY
IN
HOUELLEBECQ S WORK;
THE
PREVAILING
WORLDVIEW
IT
CONVEYS
IS ONE OF
NIHILISM
AND
HEDONISM
IN A
POSTMODERN, POST-CHRISTIAN
EUROPE. IN BETTY S ANALYSIS, MATERIALIST HOR-
ROR
EMERGES
AS A
PHILOSOPHICAL AND AESTHETIC
CONCEPT THAT
DESCRIBES
AND AMPLIFIES CONTEM-
PORARY
MORAL AND SOCIAL
DECADENCE
IN HOUEL-
LEBECQ S
FICTION.
LDUIS
BETTY
IS
ASSISTANT
PROFESSOR
OF
FRENCH
AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-WHITEWATER.
