Popular author Michel Houellebecq has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 66th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Houellebecq, a cultural icon
Born Michel Thomas in La Réunion on February 26, 1958, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Houellebecq's not just a great author, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Michel hasn't done.

Happy Birthday, Michel, you're the best!
