Jean-Marie Gustave Le ClezioA French writer Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio has won the 2008 Nobel Prize for literature. I must confess I have not read any of his books. I should ... maybe on my next long haul flight. The Swedish Academy awarding the prize refer to him as being an "author of new departures, poetic adventure and sensual ecstasy, explorer of a humanity beyond and below the reigning civilization." I don't know if is just the way I am wired....(does anyone feel the same way?) but I have no idea what 'poetic adventure' means...nor 'sensual ecstasy'. Is there a form of ecstasy that is non-sensual?
