The Robert-Cliche award, the most prestigious award for young Quebec writers, was won by Olivia Tapiero for her novel, <em>Les Murs</em>. This young woman, who is only 19, chronicles the difficult life of an anorexic teen attempting yet again to commit suicide.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1673556\" data-originallang=\"fr\">The Quebec writer of Haitian origin, Dany Laferri\u00e8re, was recognized once more: this morning he won the M\u00e9dicis award in the French-language novel category for <em>L'\u00c9nigme du retour</em>. He is the second Quebecker to win this illustrious prize from France; Marie-Claire Blais won in 1966.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1673557\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would also like to mention two other major French literary awards. The Goncourt, the Oscar of French-language literature, was won by Marie NDiaye, for her book <em>Trois femmes puissantes</em>, and the Renaudot was awarded to Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Beigbeder for his novel <em>Un roman fran\u00e7ais</em>.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1673558\" data-originallang=\"fr\">On behalf of all Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois members, I wish to congratulate these very talented francophone authors, who have taken their places among the great authors of Quebec and French literature. </p>",
