artpress Editor's Note: A Microscopic Fragment of Christ

The October 2016 issue of artpress (n°437) features an editorial titled 'Un microscopique éclat du Christ' (A Microscopic Fragment of Christ). The text draws a parallel between the controversial French writer Michel Houellebecq and Maurice G. Dantec, suggesting Dantec's presence in artpress. Dantec, active in the 1990s, was known for cult novels blending crime fiction and science fiction (such as 'La Sirène rouge', 'Les Racines du mal', and 'Babylon babies'), as well as lengthy essays. The editorial is published on page 5 of the issue.
