Born in the suburbs of Paris in 1945, Patrick Modiano began to write in his . His first book "La Place de l'etoile" was published in 1968.
Peter Englund, Permanent Secretary of Swedish Academy, explains why they Modiano for this year's prize.
"He writes about very interesting and general , he is writing about time, memory, identity, he is doing it in a very refined(有教养的) and way, he is doing it in a pretty way, he has very very precise style."
Englund also says Modiano's writing style is to that of other Nobel laureates(诺贝尔得主), China's Mo Yan.
"The same thing as Mo Yan, and Alice Munro, they are very much connected to places, Mo Yan with Shandong, and Alice Munro about her part of Canada, that is a very explainable paradox(自相矛盾的人或事) for an very general, they are often connected to the place."
The city of Paris plays in Modiano's works.
Englund says his reflects a different time for the readers in the French capital.
"I say he gives us help to understand the intricacies(纷繁难懂之处) of how difficult it is to reach back and understand versions of yourself and to understand happens 30 years ago, the problems with understanding but at the same time you can't from it, you must try to reach out time and understand yourself and understand what happened."
This year's Nobel Peace Prize is be announced later on this Friday in Oslo, Norway.
