"Fearless, vivid and astringently honest. . . surprisingly funny.

Can permanently change how we view things that happened in our own lives. Not many novels can do that."

THE ELEMENTARY PARTICLES

An international literary phenomenon,
The Elementary Particles
is a frighteningly original novel—part Marguerite Duras and part Bret Easton Ellis—that leaps headlong into the malaise of contemporary existence. Bruno and Michel are half brothers who were abandoned by their mother, an unabashed devotee of the drugged-out, free-love world of the sixties. Bruno, the older brother, has become a raucously promiscuous hedonist himself, while Michel is an emotionally dead molecular biologist wholly immersed in the solitude of his work. Each is ultimately offered a final chance at genuine love, and what unfolds is a brilliantly caustic and unpredictable tale.
