My Take
Pascal Bruckner is a writer I'd like to read more closely. Emerging in the 1970s as one of France's "New Philosophers," he has spent decades turning a critical eye on his own society and culture, which is the bravest target an essayist can choose. The Prix Renaudot in 1997, preceded by the Prix Médicis for essays, signals a serious voice in both fiction and commentary, and a path from the Lycée Henri-IV to Paris Diderot University marks him as an intellectual to the core. Ideas that refuse to flatter can be unwelcome, and I respect thinkers who speak plainly anyway; he clearly belongs in that company.
