French writer Michel Houellebecq will suspend the promotion of “Submission,” his controversial sixth novel, and go dark for an indefinite period of time, his agent Francois Samuelson told Paris newspaper Le Monde.
His decision follows the attacks by suspected Islamist assailants this week at satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which left 12 people dead. Houellebecq was featured on the cover of the latest edition of the magazine, published on the day of the Jan. 7 attack.
