Who's That Guy?

The English-speaking literary world is still scrambling to learn more about Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio, winner of this year's Nobel Prize for Literature. The New York Times published selected excerpts two weeks ago. Now the New Yorker has announced that its October 23 issue will include a complete Clezio short story, "The Boy Who Had Never Seen the Sea."

This article from the Associated Press has a summary of Clezio's works and an interview with the New Yorker's fiction editor. The magazine will be on newstands Monday, or you can read the story on newyorker.com.--David E
