> A writer who spent forty years quietly building one of the strangest bodies of work in French letters before the Nobel committee called him an "explorer of a humanity beyond and below the reigning civilization" - the kind of citation that tells you he wasn't writing airport novels.

## Bio

Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio was born 13 April 1940, holding French, Mauritian, and British nationality. His first novel, Le Procès-Verbal, won the Prix Renaudot in 1963 when he was still in his twenties. Over the decades that followed he published more than forty works, building a body of fiction that the Swedish Academy would eventually describe as "new departures, poetic adventure and sensual ecstasy." In 2008 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for that life's work. He also teaches.
