Abstract
Michel Houellebecq is rightly known for the considerable energy that he devotes to describing and analysing the sphere of heterosexual activity. Despite this, his analysis of the moribund institutions of heterosexuality is of particular use to a queer critique that would seek to understand and challenge heteronormative systems. Although Houellebecq frequently reinvests in traditional heterosexual and patriarchal power structures through his romantic plots and his disingenuously "postfeminist" sexism, a close reading of him alongside dissimilar feminist critics reveals a symptomatic message that a feminist and queer politics cannot afford to ignore.
