Le Prix Goncourt, le plus célèbre prix littéraire en France, a été attribué lundi 8 novembre à Michel Houellebecq, pour son roman La carte et le territoire,  publié chez Flammarion.

Depuis son premier roman, Extension du domaine de la lutte, il y a seize ans, Houellebecq  reste l'observateur le plus aigu de réalité sociale et l’écrivain français vivant le plus connu à l'étranger.

 

Michel Houellebecq is the winner of the 2010 Prix Goncourt, France's preeminent literary prize for his book La carte et le territoire  / The Map and the Territory.  An astute and somewhat disturbing observer of the modern human condition, his work is well known internationally and has been translated into many languages. 

There are many video clips of him being interviewed available through YouTube and other sites as well that showcase his own words and his unique personal style.
