Earlier today in Stockholm The Swedish Academy announced the winner of the 2008 Nobel Prize for Literature. This years winner was the French Writer Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, who has written more than 40 books, 12 of which have been translated into English.
His Collectable first editions are currently selling for up to $850, which if you compare to past winners, ie Dorris Lessing at $8500 makes Le Clezio a comparative bargain right now.
