Serotonin book cover
Serotonin
A Novel
Michel Houellebecq - 2019-01-07
Рейтинг Goodreads
A darkly humorous and politically incorrect novel, delving into the complex themes of sex, male angst, consumerism, globalization, and urban planning. The story follows an aging hedonist and agricultural engineer who escapes his depressing city life to return to the countryside of Normandy. There, he finds himself caught up in local farmers' longing for a pre-modern era, and as tensions rise, it becomes clear that a catastrophe is on the horizon. A scathing and witty commentary on the state of Western civilization and mankind.

The Loser book cover
The Loser
A Novel
Thomas Bernhard - 2006-10-17 (впервые опубликовано в 1983)
Рейтинг Goodreads
A stunning novel that explores the relationship between three piano prodigies, The Loser is a breathtaking meditation on ambition, success, and failure. Written with lyrical prose and an outrageously cantankerous voice, this book is a testament to the incomparable talent of author Thomas Bernhard. Follow the journey of the narrator as he reflects on the legacy of piano virtuoso Glenn Gould and his own retreat from the public eye in the face of Gould's genius.
