«La Ronde et autres faits divers» is a collection of short stories by J.M.G. Le Clézio published by Gallimard in paperback (281 pages, in French).
Eleven seemingly banal stories: workers illegally crossing the Italian border, two young runaways, a thieving boy, a woman giving birth alone in a caravan. Le Clézio imbues them with a moving strangeness and turns them into a reflection on solitude, repression, injustice and the hope of finding love and freedom.
Number 2148 in Gallimard's Folio collection; the work originally appeared in 1982 and this edition in 1990.
Intended for students of French seeking short reads and for those who enjoy the social narrative of the Nobel Prize in Literature winner.
Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, usually identified as J. M. G. Le Clézio, of French, Mauritian, and British nationality, is a writer and professor. The author of over forty works, he was awarded the 1963 Prix Renaudot for his novel Le Procès-Verbal and the 2008 Nobel Prize in Literature for his life's work, as an "author of new departures, poetic adventure and sensual ecstasy, explorer of a humanity beyond and below the reigning civilization".
