Submission
Submission by Michel Houellebecq is a provocative dystopian novel that imagines a near-future France where an Islamic political party peacefully comes to power and reshapes French society, culture, and higher education.
Discussed“There's a quote from Welbeck's submission, which is about a hypothetical dystopian future where France is overrun by Muslims. Who could envision? And the guy is talking, he's a teacher, he's a university lecturer, and he's talking to his girlfriend who's Jewish, and she's like alighting for Israel.”
