Prix Goncourt 2009

[saliotthomas]

It was a while ago but i think nobody mention it ??!!

Three Powerful Women, by French-Senegalese author Marie NDiaye

After Obama, the French go further and choose a black woman for the price.

I never heard of her but i shall try to get it, not belonging to the forked tongues who love bitching about the Goncourt.
I actually quite like their choices in general.

And there is an article
Black woman wins Prix Goncourt for the first time | Books | guardian.co.uk

and another
Marie Ndiaye wins the Prix Goncourt for Trois femmes puissantes | People in the News | People | The First Post

She seem very happy which is a blessing among the pintched assed intellectual.

Good of you to post this, Thomas. Why, indeed, did no one mention the lovely Marie DNiaye, political exile (sort of)? For those who read French, there's some fascinating stuff here about the stink she - or rather the stink the total asshole Eric Raoult - tried to create around the Goncourt and Marie NDiaye's political frankness:

Marie NDiaye en appelle ? Mitterrand... et ?maintient ses propos apr?s le texte grotesque d'Eric Raoult? - Entretien exclusif avec le prix Goncourt 2009
