The Camp of the Saints (1973) is a controversial French dystopian novel by Jean Raspail that portrays the collapse of Western civilization under the weight of mass migration from the Global South. The narrative follows a fleet of starving migrants, termed the "people of the Ganges," whose arrival in France causes the state and military to break down, resulting in the surrender of Western cultural and political systems. The book is widely condemned as a xenophobic, racist, white supremacist narrative, yet it holds a prominent place in far-right discourse and the "Great Replacement" theory, often cited by figures in France and the US.

His first book was a biographical essay on the horror writer H. P. Lovecraft. Houellebecq published his first novel Whatever in 1994 and his second, Atomised, in 1998, to international fame as well as controversy. He has published several books of poetry, including The Art of Struggle in 1996.
An offhand remark about Islam during a publicity tour for his 2001 novel Platform led to Houellebecq being taken to court for inciting racial hatred. He was eventually cleared of all charges. He subsequently moved to Ireland for several years, before moving back to France. In 2010, he published The Map and the Territory, which won the prestigious Prix Goncourt. In 2015, his novel Submission sparked controversy for its depiction of Islam and was accused of plagiarism in a lawsuit later deemed inadmissible. Annihilation was published in 2022. He was described in 2015 as "France's biggest literary export and, some say, greatest living writer" and called himself "probably islamophobic".
