The return of the writer Michel Houellebecq, almost invisible since the publication in 2019 of his last novel, will be on stage to declaim poetry, his publisher announced on Friday.

The novelist "will perform on November 7, 8 and 10 for five new performances of the show + Existence at Low Altitude +," Flammarion said in a statement.

Tickets for these performances at the Rex Club (Paris 2nd) are on sale from Tuesday.

"Michel Houellebecq, accompanied by Victorien Bornéat, Hugues Jourdain and Margot de Rochefort will recite more than 30 of his poems, to the music of producer Romain Poncet," said the publisher.

After "Serotonin" in 2019, the author, Goncourt Prize 2010, published the following year a collection of essays and various positions, "Interventions 2020", which he did not promote.

Paris Match said in August that its next novel would be released in January 2022. Flammarion gave no indication on this subject.
