«Plataforma» is the contemporary fiction novel by Michel Houellebecq, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (316 pages, in Spanish).
Michel, an apathetic and emotionless Parisian civil servant, travels to Thailand to escape his routine and finds relief in sex tourism. He meets Valérie, an executive at a travel agency, and together they plan a network of resorts where sex is just another service and prostitution is legal.
Plataforma belongs to the Panorama de narrativas collection (no. 514) and features a translation by Encarna Castejón. The work was recognized with the Qué Leer Readers' Prize in 2002.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in Houellebecq's narrative and his critical view of consumer society.
