«La posibilidad de una isla» is the science fiction novel by Michel Houellebecq, published by Alfaguara in paperback (440 pages, in Spanish).
The novel alternates the story of Daniel, a comedian famous for his corrosive monologues, with the testimonies of his distant cloned successors, Daniel24 and Daniel25, in a future where immortality has been achieved at the cost of emotion. In this dual chronology, love, desire, loneliness, faith and a sect that promises eternal life intersect.
The novel, winner of the 2005 Prix Interallié, was originally published in French as «La Possibilité d'une île»; this Alfaguara edition offers the text in Spanish.
For readers of contemporary fiction and science fiction who appreciate philosophical, provocative narrative with black humour.
