He decides to make a false complaint. Without a car, only, only because she has no friends. He wanted to see a lot of possibilities for life and then finds himself surrounded by emptiness which can be regarded as degenerative, the choice of writing a novel is a way to recall and clarify.

Houellebecq, loved by many critics, is overrated, its not necessary to "Extending the domain of the struggle" to learn about thoughts and feelings expressed in the best way of Camus or Jean Cocteau. Nothing original.
