After the controversies surrounding the novel 'Submission' and the personal attacks against its author, this duel in words is more relevant than ever. Bernard-Henri Lévy and Michel Houellebecq are two of the most important intellectuals in the French literary scene and are undeniably "enemies of the people": the controversial philosopher meets the most hated French writer of our time. Two self-proclaimed narcissists ponder what they have done to deserve the public's hatred, dissecting their own images with clever flirtation: a verbal exchange that delves into both the personal and the political, addressing questions of poetics as well as philosophical ones, while also providing brilliant entertainment.
