slough: i12bent: The Nobel trio of April 13 is rounded out by the 2009 Literature Laureate, Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, b. this day in 1940… “My message will be very clear; it is that I think we have to continue to read novels. Because I think that the novel is a very good means to question the current world without having an answer that is too schematic, too automatic. The novelist, he’s not a philosopher, not a technician of spoken language. He’s someone who writes, above all, and through the novel asks questions.” — Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio Photo of Le Clézio and his first wife, Marina - 1963/AP Le Clézio is great. I highly recommend La Fièvre, a great short story collection.
