Longlisted for the Booker Prize 2020
Penguin presents the audio edition of Serotonin by Michel Houellebecq.
The most important French book of the year.
Dissatisfied and discontent, Florent-Claude Labrouste begrudgingly works as an engineer for the Ministry of Agriculture and is in a self-imposed dysfunctional relationship with a younger woman. When he discovers her ongoing infidelity, he decides to abandon his life in Paris and return to the Normandy countryside of his youth. There he contemplates lost loves and past happiness as he struggles to embed himself in a world that no longer holds any joy for him.
His only relief comes in the form of a pill - white, oval, small. Captorix is a new brand of antidepressant, recently released for public consumption, which works by altering the brain’s release of serotonin. With social unrest intensifying around him, and his own depression deepening, Florent-Claude turns to this new medication in the hope that he will find something to live for.
Written by one of the most provocative and prophetic novelists of his generation, Serotonin is at once a devastating story of solitude, longing and individual suffering and a powerful criticism of modern life.

Book left me wondering why I don't stop listening, but I kept on thinking that there should be a point to the waffle. Soon.
It never happened.
I could have listened to country music for a day and skipped the gratuitous references to female genitalia in various states of arousal, which seems to be the gist of the story line.
Exhausted, exhausting, rambling tenaciously

He also doesn't seem to understand the book at all or Houllebecq's humour. Why oh why did they pick this parochial incompetent?
I disliked the performance so much I just couldn't stand to listen any more.
As for the book itself. It isn't Houllebecq's best and that's putting it mildly. Perhaps it would have been better if the main character just jumped out of a window in the 3rd chapter.
Atrocious performance.
