Serotonin by Michel Houellebecq

Serotonin is a novel by French author Michel Houellebecq that was released in January 2019. Serotonin, the story of a lovesick agricultural engineer who develops trade reports for the French agriculture ministry and despises the EU, has been lauded as caustic and prescient by the French media. Serotonin is typical of a Houellebecq work in that it has those who adore it and those who despise it. Serotonin is plainly negative, but not nihilistic, as Houellebecq is sometimes accused of being. Florent is fascinated with living a meaningful life.

Michel Houellebecq, a popular figure in France, has written a new novel that takes a severe look at 21st-century culture, drug addiction, and globalization. The plot is set between Paris and Normandy, and it follows a disillusioned government worker who wants to restart his life only to discover that rural France is crumbling owing to big business and European agricultural policy.
