Aurélien Bellanger

Aurélien Bellanger, (born 20 April 1980 in Laval, Mayenne), is a French writer and actor.

He debuted in 2010 with a monograph about Michel Houellebecq and has since published novels on a regular basis.

[1] Due to his occupation with technology and modern life, his novels have been compared to the works of Houellebecq and Honoré de Balzac.

In La Croix, Sabine Audrerie notes[2] "If we had to look for a link, we could retain the desire to be part of the Balzacie heritage."

Less elogious, Jérôme Dupuis of L'Express described him as "a Houellebecq without humour, without sex, without aphorism, without melancholy".
