«La posibilidad de una isla» is the science fiction novel by Michel Houellebecq, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (440 pages, in Spanish).
Daniel, a comedian famous for his caustic monologues, narrates his final years, his relationships with Isabelle and Esther, and his contact with a sect that promises immortality. The novel interweaves social criticism, philosophy, science, cloning, sex, youth and old age, violence and desire, with the cold and uncomfortable gaze characteristic of Houellebecq.
Published on 1 April 2006. Edition with illustrated dust jacket; translation by Encarna Castejón. The French original, «La Possibilité d'une île», won the Prix Interallié in 2005.
