«Lanzarote et autres textes» is Michel Houellebecq's travel narrative, published by J'ai lu in paperback (89 pages, in French).
A tourist spends a few days in Lanzarote and, between sun and excursions, reflects with irony on the emptiness of organized tourism. The volcanic island and conversations with other holidaymakers feed a satire of mass vacations; other short texts broaden that critical gaze.
This edition belongs to the Librio collection and declares «Texte intégral» on the cover. The original text appeared as «Lanzarote» in 2000.
For readers interested in contemporary French literature and in the satire of mass tourism.
