this is one of those things you immediately realize you should have thought of already
Submission is brilliant.
Is this supposed to surprise anyone?
Here's the paradox: Bannon thinks of himself as a rebel against globalization but alt-right is deeply internationalist movement
Internationalist as in white racialist, certainly not internationalist in the sense of, say, Trotskyism.
Mark Lilla's The Shipwrecked Mind has a good section on Houellebecq
Rod Dreher isn't exactly alt-right, but he has written sympathetically of both Submission & Camp of Saints.
He doesn't exactly embrace them, but he does think they hit on at least some truths.
!! Though Houellebecq=giving up. He even looks like decline. Bannon is a revolutionary therefore has to be optimistic
I'm starting to suspect Trump hasn't even heard of Houellebecq! Hasn't read Balzac nor Voltaire!! [Not even in translation]
