Drawing on themes that are similar to the ones in his novels, these poems are a journey into the depths of individual experience and universal passions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDivided into five parts, \u003ci\u003eUnreconciled\u003c\/i\u003e forms a narrative of love, hopelessness, catastrophe, dedication, and--ultimately--redemption. In a world of supermarkets and public transportation, indifferent landscapes and lonely nights, Houellebecq manages to find traces of divine grace even as he exposes our inexorable decline into chaos. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTold through forms and rhythms that are both ancient and new, with language steeped in the everyday, \u003ci\u003eUnreconciled \u003c\/i\u003estands in the tradition of Baudelaire while making a bold new claim on contemporary verse. It reveals that in addition to his work as an incisive novelist, Houellebecq is one of our most perceptive poets with a vision of our era that brims with tensions that cannot--and will not--be reconciled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Houellebecq\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Strauss \u0026amp; Giroux-3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374538071","brand":"Farrar, Strauss \u0026 Giroux-3pl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42471997636745,"sku":"9780374538071","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_a50d3910-4ea0-4399-8968-ee3c43a5e2f8.jpg?v=1716270536","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/unreconciled-poems-1991-2013-a-bilingual-edition-9780374538071","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
