Houellebecq is on the <em>Times<\/em>\u00a0Op-Ed page, up to his usual tricks: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/11\/21\/opinion\/how-frances-leaders-failed-its-people.html\" target=\"_blank\">Despite the common perception, the French are rather docile, rather easy to govern. But they are not complete idiots<\/a>. Instead, their main flaw is a kind of forgetful frivolity that necessitates jogging their memory from time to time. There are people, political people, who are responsible for the unfortunate situation we find ourselves in today, and sooner or later their responsibility will have to be examined. It\u2019s unlikely that the insignificant opportunist who passes for our head of state, or the congenital moron who plays the part of our prime minister, or even the \u2018stars of the opposition\u2019 (LOL) will emerge from the test looking any brighter.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019d rather not read on, head elsewhere in the <em>Times<\/em>, where <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/11\/19\/fashion\/the-cult-of-the-toto-toilet.html\" target=\"_blank\">high-tech Japanese toilets are on parade<\/a>. (And remember, gift givers, the holiday season is approaching.) \u201cFor those who own Japanese toilets, there is a cultish devotion. They boast heated seats, a bidet function for a rear cleanse and an air-purifying system that deodorizes during use. The need for toilet paper is virtually eliminated (there is an air dryer) and \u2018you left the lid up\u2019 squabbles need never take place (the seat lifts and closes automatically in many models) \u2026 Toto, arguably the industry leader (though other companies sell them), has tried over the years to get Americans to embrace the concept. Their latest bid to toilet-train the public is the Connect+ system of the Carlyle II 1G with s350e washlet. The model offers the standard comforts, along with something Toto calls SanaGloss, a glaze that seals the porcelain and repels waste.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>But you don\u2019t look for this space for hygiene advice. You\u2019re here for literature. May we recommend a dime-store paperback, then? Patricia Highsmith\u2019s <em>The Price of Salt<\/em>, first published in 1953, depicted a lesbian couple without putting them through the wringer: it was \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/article\/124220\/patricia-highsmith-offered-gay-readers-hopeful-ending\" target=\"_blank\">a landmark book for queer America, offering readers a powerful and hopeful ending<\/a>, one that didn\u2019t see the two women at the center of the story end their affair, commit suicide, or attempt murder \u2026 As an act of secretive reading, the lesbian pulp novel formed an invisible lesbian community.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>On the plays of Caryl Churchill, who\u2019s still honing her craft at age seventy-seven: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/books\/page-turner\/caryl-churchills-prophetic-drama\" target=\"_blank\">Churchill\u2019s interest in mutable, shifting identities has remained a major theme\u2014and from the perspective of contemporary debates about gender and the essence of identity, seems almost prophetic<\/a> \u2026 Whatever one thinks of her politics, Churchill has been able to respond rapid-fire to current events in part because she has stayed away from the convoluted development processes of film and television: she remains committed to live forms. And it is hard to see how anything but theatre could give her the flexibility to write as she pleases. The early texts are rich, dense, often sprawling as they hop-skip across time; these days, the plays are pearlescent in their minimalism. Sometimes they\u2019re as short as eight minutes: one sentence can be an entire scene.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the aftermath of the Paris attacks, Hemingway\u2019s A Moveable Feast has landed the number-one spot on the French best-seller list\u2014spurred in part by an interview with a woman known only as Danielle, who said the memoir helps the French \u201chold high the banner of our values,\u201d even if it was written by an American.
