Submission

Discover the thought-provoking novel 'Submission,' where satire meets stark reality in a post-election France. As the 2022 French Presidential election unfolds, two leading candidates vie for power: the right-wing Marine Le Pen of the Front National and the alluring Muhammed Ben Abbes of the Muslim Fraternity. In a bid to thwart Le Pen's rise, Ben Abbes forms a controversial alliance with the left, leading to a dramatic shift in French society. The once secular nation transforms as Islamic law takes precedence, veiling women and promoting polygamy, challenging the very core of Western values. Our narrator, Fran çois, an alienated and misanthropic middle-aged man, grapples with his place in this new order. 'Submission' offers a compelling critique of faith, society, and personal meaning, blending humor with profound melancholy.

Description:
As the 2022 French Presidential election looms, two candidates emerge as favourites- Marine Le Pen of the Front National, and the charismatic Muhammed Ben Abbes of the growing Muslim Fraternity. Forming a controversial alliance with the political left to block the Front National's alarming ascendency, Ben Abbes sweeps to power, and overnight the country is transformed. This proves to be the death knell of French secularism, as Islamic law comes into force- women are veiled, polygamy is encouraged and, for our narrator Fran ois - misanthropic, middle-aged and alienated - life is set on a new course.

Submission is a devastating satire, comic and melancholy by turns, and a profound meditation on faith and meaning in Western society.
