bobbygw's insight:
Marie NDiaye is a French novelist and playwright. She published her first novel, Quant au riche avenir, when she was 17. She won the Prix Goncourt in 2009 for her novel Three Strong Women, and the Prix Femina for Rosie Carp in 2001.

The excellent essayist is Jeffrey Zuckerman, an editor at Music & Literature and a translator from French. You can find him on Twitter @J_Zuckerman
