Submission ( French : Soumission ) is a novel by French writer Michel Houellebecq . [1] The French edition of the book was published on 7 January 2015 by Flammarion , with German ( Unterwerfung ) and Italian ( Sottomissione ) translations also published in January. [2] [3] The book instantly became a bestseller in France , Germany and Italy . [4] [5] The English edition of the book, translated by Lorin Stein , was published on 10 September 2015. [6]

The novel imagines a situation in which a Muslim party upholding Islamist and patriarchal values is able to win the 2022 presidential election in France with the support of the Socialist Party . The book drew an unusual amount of attention because, by coincidence, it was released on the day of the Charlie Hebdo shooting . [7]

The novel mixes fiction with real people: Marine Le Pen , François Hollande , François Bayrou , Manuel Valls , and Jean-François Copé , among others, fleetingly appear as characters in the book. [8]

In 2022, François, a middle-aged literature professor at Paris III and specialist in Huysmans , feels he is at the end of his sentimental and sexual lives – composed largely of year-long liaisons with his students. It has been years since the last time he created any valuable university work. France is in the grip of political crisis – in order to stave off a National Front victory, the Socialists ally with the newly formed Muslim Brotherhood Party, with additional support of the Union for a Popular Movement , formerly the main right-wing party. They propose the charming and physically imposing Islamic candidate Mohammed Ben-Abbes for the presidency against the National Front leader Marine Le Pen . In despair at the emerging political situation, and the inevitability of antisemitism becoming a major force in French politics, François's young and attractive Jewish girlfriend, Myriam, emigrates to Israel . His mother and father die. He fears that he is heading towards suicide, and takes refuge at a monastery situated in the town of Martel . The monastery is an important symbol of Charles Martel 's victory over Islamic forces in 732; it is also where his literary hero, Huysmans, became a lay member.

Ben-Abbes wins the election, and becomes President of France . He pacifies the country and enacts sweeping changes to French laws, privatizing the Sorbonne , thereby making François redundant with full pension as only Muslims are now allowed to teach there. He also ends gender equality , allowing polygamy . Several of François's intellectually-inferior colleagues, having converted to Islam, get good jobs and make arranged marriages with attractive young wives. The new president campaigns to enlarge the European Union to include North Africa , with the aim of making it a new Roman Empire , with the now-Islamicized France at its lead. In this new, different society, with the support of the powerful politician Robert Rediger, the novel ends with François poised to convert to Islam and the prospect of a second, better life, with a prestigious job, and wives chosen for him.

The book generated controversy and criticism for its portrayal of Islam. [9] In advance of the novel's publication, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls declared, "‘France is not Michel Houellebecq . . . it’s not intolerance, hatred, fear.” [10] Lydia Kiesling, writing for Slate , stated, "There is a way in which Submission is not, strictly speaking, Islamophobic. But it does Aylan Kurdi no favors." [11] The New York Times likewise argued Submission "plays on French fears of terrorism, immigration and changing demographics." [12]

Houellebecq commented on the novel in an interview with The Paris Review :

… I can't say that the book is a provocation — if that means saying things I consider fundamentally untrue just to get on people's nerves. I condense an evolution that is, in my opinion, realistic. [1]
Rob Doyle of The Irish Times found the themes of the book favourable to Islam, stating Houellebecq "suggests that yielding to the rule of Islam, with its reassuring social and sexual hierarchies, might be a good option for an otherwise terminal Europe." [10] Steven Poole , writing for The Guardian , noted that the book was "arguably, not primarily about politics at all. The real target of Houellebecq's satire — as in his previous novels — is the predictably manipulable venality and lustfulness of the modern metropolitan man, intellectual or otherwise." [13] Adam Shatz, writing for the London Review of Books , states that it "is the work of a nihilist not a hater – the jeu d’esprit of a man without convictions". [14]

Some critics also suggested the novel promoted misogynistic views. Erik Martiny's review in The London Magazine highlighted that "gender hierarchy is presented in the novel as the essential backbone to a healthy, stable society." [15] Heller McAlpin's review for the NPR concluded with the line, "I'm hoping that women, at least, won't take this insulting scenario lying down," while Lydia Kiesling contextualized the book's depiction of women by stating Submission contains a "Evo-Psych 101 correlation of women’s worth with their sexual viability" prevalent in both Houellebecq’s work and his personal comments. [16] [11]

On 5 January 2015, French president François Hollande announced in an interview for France Inter radio that he "would read the book, because it’s sparking a debate." [17]

The author appeared in a caricature on the front page of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo on 7 January 2015, the day when the offices of the newspaper were attacked by masked gunmen who killed eight Charlie Hebdo employees . The title on the cover was: "Les prédictions du mage Houellebecq : en 2015, je perds mes dents, en 2022, je fais ramadan." (English: "The predictions of the sorcerer Houellebecq: In 2015, I lose my teeth. In 2022, I observe Ramadan ." ) [18]

On the day of the publishing of the book and hours before the attack on Charlie Hebdo , Houellebecq said in an interview for France Inter radio:

There's a real disdain in this country for all the authorities. ... You can feel that this can't continue. Something has to change. I don't know what, but something. [19]
The German translation ( Unterwerfung ) by Norma Cassau and Bernd Wilczek was published on 16 January 2015 by DuMont Buchverlag . [20] Lorin Stein translated the book into English.

The book was an instant bestseller. [4] [21]

Several critics, including Bruno de Cessole of Valeurs Actuelles and Jérôme Dupuis of L'Express , compared the novel to Jean Raspail 's 1973 novel The Camp of the Saints , a novel about the political impotence of Europe during a massive wave of immigration from India. [22] [23] Grégoire Leménager of Le Nouvel Observateur downplayed the similarities to The Camp of the Saints , as Submission does not deal with ethnicity, and instead placed Houellebecq's novel within a trend of recent French novels about immigration and Islam, together with La Mémoire de Clara by Patrick Besson , Dawa by Julien Suaudeau and Les Événements by Jean Rolin , speculating that the concept of the " Great Replacement " ("Grand Remplacement"), as formulated by Renaud Camus , was becoming fashionable as a literary device. [24]

Marine Le Pen commented in an interview with France Info radio that the novel is "a fiction that could one day become reality." [19]

Mark Lilla , in The New York Review of Books , stated similarly that "Europe in 2022 has to find another way to escape the present, and 'Islam' just happens to be the name of the next clone." [25]

French novelist Emmanuel Carrère compared Submission to George Orwell 's 1984 . [26]

A monologue stage performance with Edgar Selge as François toured Germany in early 2016 with dates in Hamburg , Dresden and Berlin . According to Die Zeit , interest in the story was piqued by the New Year's Eve sexual assaults in Germany . [27] A German film adaptation, based both on the novel and the stage performance, was produced by the television channel Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg as Unterwerfung . The film stars Selge who reprises his role from the stage version. [28] The film premiered on German public broadcaster ARD on 6 June 2018, followed by a roundtable, [29] which resulted in "a broad internet discussion," in calls for all German political talkshows to be suspended for one year, [30] and in an apology from ARD presenter Sandra Maischberger . [31]

It’s 2022. Francois is bored. He’s a middle-aged lecturer at the Sorbonne and an expert on J.K. Huysmans, the famous nineteenth-century Decadent author. But Francois’s own decadence is considerably smaller in scale. He sleeps with his students, eats microwave dinners, rereads Huysmans, watches YouPorn. Meanwhile, it’s election season. And although Francois feels “about as political as a bath towel,” things are getting pretty interesting. In an alliance with the Socialists, France’s new Islamic party sweeps to power. Islamic law comes into force. Women are veiled, polygamy is encouraged, and Francois is offered an irresistible academic advancement—on condition that he convert to Islam. Adam Gopnik in The New Yorker has said of Submission that Michael Houellebecq is “not merely a satirist but—more unusually—a sincere satirist, genuinely saddened by the absurdities of history and the madnesses of mankind.” Houellebecq’s new book may be satirical and melancholic, but it is also hilarious, a comic masterpiece by one of France’s great novelists.

Islamophobe signifie avoir peur de l'islam. Si ceci est la question, il est clair que le monde décrit dans ce livre n'est pas un monde qu'un démocrate …more Islamophobe signifie avoir peur de l'islam. Si ceci est la question, il est clair que le monde décrit dans ce livre n'est pas un monde qu'un démocrate américain ou européen ne devrait pas craindre (double négation en américain: il faut craindre ce monde). Mais je pense que vous voulez dire anti-islam. Le héros de ce livre ne se révolte pas particulèrement contre l'islam au contraire il s'y complait à la fin pour avancer sa carrière. C'est d'ailleurs, personnellement la partie que je n'ai pas aimée, j'aimerais mieux qu'on combatte l'islam. En ce qui concerne la misogynie, l'islam est misogyne et Houellebecq le décrit comme tel. On ne peut pas reprocher à un auteur de décrire un fait bien établi. Le livre s'inscrit aussi dans le cadre des élections françaises et décrit une situation ou les politiciens préfèrent se soumettre à l'islam que de voter Marine Le Pen. (less)
