I thought, "La fille" is a poem in "La Poursuite du bonheur" (Search for happyness). What is the connection to "The elementary particles"?

I have to admit that I do not know Houllebecq's work very well. I just did some web search already some time ago, because I wondered about the same thing as you do.

Hi rabbit,
I really found an interview - it is in the Colour-ize fanzine, April 2004. I´ll try to translate the interesting part:
----------------------------
Colour-ize: Can you say some words about the poem "La fille"? It is one of the more complicated pieces and also a little bit morbid, isnt´t it?
Ernst: Yes, it is. MH himself doesn´t write, what´s it exactly about. For me, this girl is somehow a symbol of death. Among the fashionable authors- and that he is, because he hits a certain zeitgeist -he is the one who I like most. Often he has a cold, precise, even tough way to write and that shows his melancholic side - perhaps much more than somebody else would do.For me he is an absolut melancholic person or an existentialist, however, who affects me especially.
C: Do you know him personally?
E: No, I saw him once in Munich. I wanted to go for an autograph. But then I didn´t dare to go. He made a tour together with a band. He sang his poems, respectively recited them rhythmically. It was touching to see him standing there because you could really see, that he didn´t enjoy it. The music was nice what speaks for him. Nevertheless I stood there - near him- with a book with his poems - and for some reason I didn´t go to him (laughing).
------------------------------
I hope my translation doesn´t change his words too much.
I read the poems and the elementary particles. I like the poems and found some ideas of the el.part. interesting (I´m not a fan of modern writers - so that is almost a praise)
