The book is classic, gamy Houellebecq: witty, indigestible, willfully repellent and fiercely enjoyable...
...This time, aides say, Bush will raise nearly twice that amount, and he won't be facing a G.O.P. challenger. That means he'll have tens of millions of dollars to spend next spring on television ads to shock and awe his Democratic opponent, who will have just emerged penniless from a bruising nomination battle.
