French author Patrick Modiano has been awarded the Nobel Prize in literature "for the art of memory with which he has evoked the most ungraspable human destinies and uncovered the life-world of the occupation." Modiano, 69, made his literary debut in 1968, with the novel La place de l’étoile, and went on to write more than 25 novels, in addition to several screenplays. Modiano will receive an award of 8 million Swedish kronor ($1.1 million), and with today's announcement, becomes the 11th French author to win the prize for literature. Memory is a recurrent theme throughout Modiano's works, as is the city of Paris, where he grew up and currently resides.
