For a simple raison of taste,i hate the guts of Houllebecq,whom as a fellow Frenchman i find a man of attitude,in the personne as well as in the work.On the contrary i love and respect Camus as a great author and man.I not suprise by Houllebecq claming a relation,is very good at that.
I do not consider the Outsider a work of nihilisme or misanthropy,the man does not hate or deny human race,he just does not belong.It is more science fiction or possession.If you like Mysanthropy and real writing Celine is the man and the trip at the end of the night the book.
Houllebecq is an artifice to be forggoten in the nest 20 years.
