Marie Ndiaye's Three Strong Women won France's top literary award, the Prix Goncourt
Marie Ndiaye won France's top literary award, the Prix Goncourt, on Monday, the first woman to do so since 1998. The winning piece is the "Three Strong Women," her moving tale of the struggles of women in Europe and Africa. The prize is only 10 euros ($14.80) in cash, but much more in publicity-generated sales. She was born in 1967 in Pithiviers, south of Paris, to a French mother and a Senegalese father. NDiaye now lives in Berlin.
