Michel Houellebecq, combien de singularité ?
Abstract
This article aims to report on the media construction of a singularity under the name «Houellebecq». It is based first of all on recent research on the mediatization of writers and its consequences on their public presentation of themselves. Secondly, he invites us to read La Carte et le territoire (2010) as a satirical plot of the hazards of media fame.
