The Map and the Territory

by Michel Houellebecq
This is the story of an artist called Jed Martin and features a character called Michel Houellebecq. I found it very amusing and the first part of the book works extremely well. In the later part of the book things take a rather black turn and without losing its way, I felt it rather petered out. Having said that I enjoyed this book far more than his other books that I have read and find the arguments that have raged over plagiarism of wikipedia part of the amusement factor. 8/10
