Apparently, it's not his best effort. Amazon reviews are so useful. :)<br /><br />The right to free speech is only for some, and only if they say the right things... Anyway, we all know that when there is a hoo-ha about a book, it immediately attracts a whole lot of attention and sales rocket!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-10449813169944289122015-02-11T09:10:56.454+01:002015-02-11T09:10:56.454+01:00Erratum.

I like your analysis - I read a review in Time magazine that also wondered what all the fuss was about because there was nothing "anti-Islam" anywhere in the book, but rather a lot of societal questions to be answered. I find it funny that by attacking Huellebecq for his book and trying to muzzle the poor guy (just weeks before hitting the tarmac to scream for the right to free speech) the gauche bobo actually drummed up considerable interest in his book. Could well be counterproductive to try to shut up authors...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
