'''Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio''', or '''J.M.G. Le Clézio''' (born [[April 13]], [[1940]] in [[Nice]]) is a [[France|French]] [[novelist]]. He was awarded the 1963 [[Prix Renaudot]] and the 2008 [[Nobel Prize in Literature]].<ref>[http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/2008/ Website of the Nobel Prize committee.]</ref>

==Biography==

His family emigrated from [[Brittany]] to the ''Île de France'' — today's [[Mauritius]] — in the [[18th century]]. The island came under British rule in 1810, settlers being allowed to retain their property and the use of the [[French language]] while claiming the [[British nationality]]. The family lived for a time in [[Africa]] where his father served as a [[surgeon]] in the [[British army]].<ref>See ''L'Africain'' (2004)</ref> His mother was a [[deaf mute]]. During the [[second world war]], the family was separated, his father being unable to join his wife and children in [[Nice]]<ref>{{fr}} [http://livres.lexpress.fr/entretien.asp/idC=8178/idR=5/idTC=4/idG=0 Amin Maalouf interviews J.-M. Le Clézio]</ref> where Le Clézio studied at the ''[[Collège littéraire universitaire]]''. After [[graduation]], he moved to the [[United States]] as a [[teacher]].
A great traveler, J.M.G. Le Clézio has been writing since age seven or eight. After [[majoring]] in [[French literature]], he became famous at 23 with his first novel, ''[[Le Procès-Verbal]]'' (''The Deposition''), which was shortlisted for the [[Prix Goncourt]] and for which he was awarded the [[Prix Renaudot]] in 1963.

Since then he has published about thirty books, including [[short stories]], [[novels]], [[essays]], two translations on the subject of [[Indian mythology]], countless prefaces and reviews as well as a few contributions to collective publications.

His writing career may be divided into two main periods:

*From 1963 to 1975, Le Clézio explored themes like [[insanity]], [[language]], [[writing]], devoting himself to formal experimentation in the wake of such contemporaries as [[Georges Perec]] or [[Michel Butor]]. Le Clézio's public image was that of an [[innovator]] and a [[rebel]], drawing praise from [[Michel Foucault]] and [[Gilles Deleuze]].

*In the late 1970s, Le Clézio's style underwent a drastic change; he abandoned experimentation and the mood of his novels became less tormented as he broached themes like [[childhood]], [[adolescence]] or [[traveling]], attracting a broader, more popular audience. In 1980, Le Clézio was the first winner of the newly created [[Prix Paul Morand]], awarded to ''Désert'' by the [[Académie française]].

In 1994 a survey conducted by the French literary magazine ''[[Lire]]'' showed that 13% of the readers considered him to be the greatest living French language writer.<ref>''Lire'', "Le Clézio N° 1" , 1994, 22s. </ref>

He was awarded the [[Nobel Prize in Literature]] in 2008, the first French novelist to receive it since [[Gao Xingjian]] in 2000 and [[Claude Simon]] in 1985.
