J. M. G. Le Clézio Clézio used his Nobel prize acceptance lecture to attack the subject of information poverty. The title of his lecture was "Dans la forêt des paradoxes" ("In the forest of paradoxes"), a title he attributed to Stig Dagerman. Gao Xingjian, a Chinese émigré, was the previous French citizen to receive the prize (for 2000); Le Clézio was the first French-language writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature since Claude Simon for 1985, and the fourteenth since Sully Prudhomme, laureate of the first prize of 1901.

Paul Prudhomme golf tournament. He at first thought a bee had stung his arm, required no serious medical attention, and within five minutes was back to cooking for the golf tournament. It was thought to have been a falling bullet. Prudhomme died in New Orleans on October 8, 2015, after a brief illness. He was 75. Prudhomme has made five seasons of cooking shows for New Orleans' PBS affiliate WYES-TV. Prudhomme also hosted short segments called "The Magic of Chef Paul" which were syndicated to news stations across the country. Each segment ended with his catchphrase, "Good cooking, good eating, good loving!"
