Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio 2018
Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio is a French-language writer, as he defines himself, of French and Mauritian nationality. He quickly achieved success with his first published novel, Le Procès-verbal (1963). Until the mid-1970s, his literary work was marked by the formal research of the Nouveau Roman. Thereafter, influenced by his family origins, his incessant travels and his marked taste for Amerindian cultures, Le Clézio published novels that made much of dream and myth (Désert and Le Chercheur d'or), as well as books of a more personal, autobiographical or family nature (L'Africain). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2008 as ‘a writer of new beginnings, of poetic adventure and sensual ecstasy, an explorer of a humanity beyond and below the prevailing civilisation’.
