France's Le Clezio wins Nobel literature prize
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -- French novelist Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio won the 2008 Nobel Prize in literature on Thursday for his poetic adventure and "sensual ecstasy."
The Swedish Academy called Le Clezio, 68, an "author of new departures, poetic adventure and sensual ecstasy, explorer of a humanity beyond and below the reigning civilization."
Le Clezio made his breakthrough as a novelist with "Desert," in 1980, a work the academy said "contains magnificent images of a lost a culture in the North African desert contrasted with a depiction of Europe seen through the eyes of unwanted immigrants."
Le Clezio won a prize from the French Academy for the work.
The Swedish Academy said Le Clezio from early on "stood out as an ecologically engaged author, an orientation that is accentuated with the novels 'Terra Amata,' 'The Book of Flights,' 'War,' and 'The Giants.'"
The decision was in line with the Swedish Academy's recent picks of European authors for the prestigious award. Last year, it went to Doris Lessing of Britain.

何家炜指出：注意一下这个词rupture，这里的英文是new departures。法文里这个词在文学批评里用了半个多世纪了，比我们说的“创新”其实要严重得多。大概意识里有着某种西方文明的危机感吧。
勒•克莱齐奥（法国） 主要作品有
《诉讼笔录》（上海译文出版社，1998）
《金鱼》（百花文艺出版社，2000）
《流浪的星星》（花城出版社，1998）
《少年心事》（漓江出版社，1992）
《战争》（译林出版社，1994）、
《乌拉尼亚》（人民文学出版社，2008）
人民文学很牛逼，一如前年的上海人民，很坦诚的说，从没读过他的作品······上一位获奖法国作家是高行健。
tips：
什么是"新寓言派"？
20世纪后半期有着广泛影响的文学思潮，代表作家有勒·克莱齐奥、莫迪亚诺、尤瑟纳尔、图尔尼埃等(名气最小的就是此君了，很荣幸其它几位都已拜读)。新寓言派常用一个简单的比喻，通过形象描写来阐述一点深刻的哲理寓意，这是他们的特点，同时也是其缺点。
so what?
根据鄙人对诺贝尔的粗浅理解，勒·克莱齐奥的获奖即意味着新寓言派其他作家与诺贝尔的绝缘，一如当年的西蒙和新小说······
