«El mundo como supermercado» is a book of essays by Michel Houellebecq, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (144 pages, in Spanish).
Michel Houellebecq surveys twentieth-century culture here: he attacks Prévert's poetic realism, champions silent film, defends poetry as a way of looking, and addresses the death of God, contemporary art, sex as narcissistic gratification, and cloning. The book is a transgressive vision of the world as a supermarket and as a mockery.
Number 251 in Anagrama's Argumentos collection, translated by Encarna Castejón; published in 2006.
For readers of essays and cultural criticism, and for those wishing to discover Houellebecq's facet beyond his novels.
