Wes Yang (@wesyang) is a truly great writer, and though we often disagree about political stuff, his insights are never shallow or ill-considered.
You should buy his book:https://www.amazon.com/Souls-Yellow-Folk-Essays/dp/0393241742 …

Read any Houellebecq Noah?

I'm pretty sure I've seen
@wesyang citing him somewhere, I do think a similar theme comes out in his writing, though Yang is far more optimistic and level-headed than the "modernism as macabre" the Frenchman constantly goes with. Anyways, I'd recommend "The Elementary Particles". -
If I really want to think clearly about a topic, I tend to read an American writer rather than a French one. ;-)

Generally a good rule of thumb!
