France wins Again!
Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio: author of new departures, poetic adventure and sensual ecstasy, explorer of a humanity beyond and below the reigning civilization.
French sophistication and refinement beats American pulp again!
I take back everything I said about the Nobel comittee in this thread and I applaud them for their literary insight and as your literary overlords we promise to rule firm but just and blahblah.

He looks as though he sat on something wet and warm.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
"The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

He has astoundingly dark hair for a 68-year old. It must be that French diet. :)
I read he did a short stint in the US as a teacher in the 60's. I wonder where?

LOL, Louis

Found it here
Is UT-Austin where our STFS attends? If so, the irony literally drips.Le procès-verbal was soon translated into several languages, among others into Finnish. In spite of his international fame, Le Clézio chose to stay away from fashionable literary circles, saying in an article in 1965: "Not yet sure if writing is a good way of expression." He taught at a Buddhist University in Thailand in 1966-67, at the University of Mexico, and at the Boston University, University of Texas, Austin, and the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. Since 1973 Le Clézio has divided his life between France, the U.S. and Mauritius. He has also traveled in Nigeria and Japan and published translations of Mayan sacred texts.

I go to Texas Tech. Highest rate of STDs, Teen Pregnancies, Dropouts, Drunkards and white trash in the state. Im in the right place
There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Not only did a Frenchman win the Nobel prize, but a Frenchman who lives right across the Rio Grande from the U.S.
Nobel prize winner.
