description: [This book is written in French.] Dans cet essai, Michel Houellebecq parcourt un itinÃ©raire hors du commun et rend hommage Ã  Lovecraft pour s'Ãªtre situÃ© dans cet "ailleurs absolu" et propose un plaidoyer pour une littÃ©rature vertigineuse. Lovecraft, l'un des maÃ®tres du fantastique fut un Ãªtre Ã©trange Ã  la mesure de ces rÃ©cits terifiants. Un livre Ã  ne pas lire sans tranquillisants. In this essay, Michel Houellebecq follows an unusual path and pays tribute to Lovecraft for having put himself in the "absolute elsewhere" and makes a case for a vertiginous literature. Lovecraft, one of the masters of the fantastic, was a strange character as evidenced by these terrifying stories. A book not to be read without tranquilizers.
