Despairing and cynical, Jean Floressa's Des Esseintes, an ailing aristocratic scion with a penchant for quirk, and Francois, a washed-up professor of literature with a penchant for young female students, are finished with the world. The protagonists of Joris-Karl Huysman's decadent novel "Gegen den Strich" (1884) and Michel Houellebecq's scandalous novel "Unterwerfung" (2015) both sit at a richly laid table, yet they pine for something to satisfy their hunger for meaning.

Sponsored within the framework of NEUE WEGE by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia in cooperation with the NRW KULTURsekretariat.
