   • Michel Houellebecq (born February 26, 1956 or 1958, Réunion, France) is a French writer, satirist, and provocateur whose work exposes his sometimes darkly humorous, often offensive, and thoroughly misanthropic view of humanity and the world.

   Does Houellebecq have a wife?

   • Houellebecq doesn’t need asking twice to dig in. “Look, I didn’t create the world,” says the 68-year-old, now married to Qianyum Lysis Li, whom he met when she was writing a thesis about his work at the Sorbonne. His wife cooks, he says, an admired female characteristic in his novels, but only dishes that he doesn’t eat.

   Does Houellebecq have health issues?

   • Houellebecq reads it and puts it in his bag without comment. The bottle of red is empty. The remains of the vanilla ice cream have turned into a melancholy soup and, after five hours, the evening is coming to a close. I ask him if he’s happy. “No. I have some health issues that worry me.” Don’t his books bring him solace?

   How difficult is it to meet Houellebecq?

   • As a woman, I must admit, it’s tricky to meet Houellebecq. He’s famous for describing us as sex objects with a sell-by date of pretty much 25. I tell him that I find this problematic — and depressing. He nearly jumps up from his chair, looking genuinely upset. “I think it’s dishonest,” he says.
