Summary.
The release of one of his books is always a literary event.
At 65 years old, Michel Houellebecq published his new novel “Annihilate” (Flammarion) on January 7.
A manuscript so coveted that it had been hacked and leaked on the Internet a few weeks earlier.
Illustration of the hysteria surrounding the most widely read contemporary French writer in the world.
But Michel Houellebecq has not always had this recognition.
Before approaching 40s, in the late 1980s, no one wanted to publish it.
Michel Thomas, whose real name was, was a computer scientist, divorced, depressed, and wanted to live off his pen.
Above all, he needed to deliver his dark and disillusioned view of our society.
Source code traces the life of Michel Houellebecq with Yves Jaeglé, journalist in the culture department of Le Parisien.
