Claude Simon

Claude Simon was a French writer and a prominent figure in the literary movement known as "Nouveau Roman" or "New Novel." His works often defy traditional narrative structures, focusing instead on the intricacies of memory and perception. Simon's writing is characterized by detailed descriptions and complex, fragmented storytelling that reflects the inner thoughts of characters rather than adhering to a linear plot. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1985, recognized for his innovative approach to fiction and his exploration of time, history, and human experience in a deeply introspective manner.
