Michel Houellebecq's new novel Annihilation has sat unfinished for months on my bedside table. This is the first time I've ever not finished one of his novels, even the disappointing Serotonin. I just simply can't be bothered.
In a sign of how little I enjoyed the novel, I've only turned over the corner of two pages to mark passages I liked. One is a description of an utterly henpecked marriage in which an ultra-liberal French wife inflicts maximum humiliation on her husband by choosing a West African sperm donor for her IVF treatment, and the other is an interesting discussion of Nietzsche and nihilism (the argument is that Western nihilism has reached its pinnacle in our attitude to the elderly and the past, because we no longer see any value in them).
Otherwise, I found the novel forgettable and, dare I say it, boring. I really don't know where Houellebecq goes from here.

The picture was mixed overseas. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell 1.6%, under pressure from U.S. regulatory scrutiny on New York-listed Chinese companies. Stocks were more buoyant in Europe, where Frankfurt’s DAX surged 1.4%. Following this, Sebi, in an order passed in January 2022, established that the administrators of a Telegram channel having a large subscriber base enticed the subscribers to act upon recommendations that were circulated by those administrators on the channel, leading to significant price and volume impact in various scrips. "Markets were cheering this economic recovery and return to strong economic growth, but the cheers will turn to tears if the inflation outbreak pushes businesses and consumers to the brink of recession," he added. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been a driving force in markets for the past few weeks. Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has grown from a simple messaging app to a broadcast network. Its user base isn’t as vast as WhatsApp’s, and its broadcast platform is a fraction the size of Twitter, but it’s nonetheless showing its use. While Telegram has been embroiled in controversy for much of its life, it has become a vital source of communication during the invasion of Ukraine. But, if all of this is new to you, let us explain, dear friends, what on Earth a Telegram is meant to be, and why you should, or should not, need to care.
