Ark Audio

In the 7th edition of the Ark Audio Book Club we talk about Michel Houellebecq's 2015 novel 'Submission'. The novel is set in the year 2022 in France, and the political tension is escalating. We become acquainted with 40-something Francoise who is professor of 19th century literature at the Sorbonne university and moves through life with a total indifference, that is portrayed quite well within the simple prose of the novel. We have to say that we just didn’t like the book that much and that it in no way merits the title ‘’most important book of the year 2015’’. It could be compared it to the tale of the emperors new clothes by H.C. Andersen. This month's book club are Macon Holt, Nina Bang, Louise Sommer and is hosted by Giovanna Alesandro. This episode was produced by Macon Holt and Giovanna Alesandro.
