The Swedish Academy awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature to historical novelist Patrick Modiano, the 11th French writer to win the medal. His works, which have been translated to 30 languages, capture the lives of ordinary people during the German occupation of France from 1940 to 1944. First published when he was 22, Modiano has had trouble expressing himself in public and refused a nomination to the elite Academie Francaise.
