Thread on Michel Houllebecq's Submission, which tells how a Muslim party wins the 2022 French presidential election

I won't give away any other spoilers (I think most people already know this main plot point)

and will just talk about the politics in the book 2/

as the election approaches, France is on the verge on civil war

violence has already begun

the narrator lives in paris and can hear occasional gunfire, plumes of spoke etc

but all this is being suppressed by the media
