Houllebecq makes me seethe. I wish I could express how much or the particulars of why. But did he have to mention Switzerland. So many hold Switzerland in such high esteem (notably I remember reading Alain de Boton waxing lyrical about the wonders of Switzerland in a Guardian article years ago - I should find a link), but I just don't understand why. It makes no sense to me. It works on paper, just not in reality (and I have spent a lot of time in Switzerland). I shall have to revisit this and justify my raging. Thanks for the link Thomas.
