Bruno, the older, has become a raucously promiscuous hedonist himself, while Michel is an emotionally dead molecular biologist wholly immersed in the solitude of his work. Each is ultimately offered a final chance at genuine love, and what unfolds is a brilliantly caustic and unpredictable tale. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTranslated from the French by Frank Wynne.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"The Elementary Particles | Michel Houellebecq | Paperback | 9780375727016 | New | Fiction 1707867","offer_id":50734474264834,"sku":"1707867","price":31.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61cFpsNjquL.jpg?v=1791923127","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/the-elementary-particles","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
