Moroccan-born Leila Slimani wins Goncourt, France's top literary prize
Moroccan-born Leila Slimani
Paris - Arab Today
Moroccan-born Leila Slimani won France's top literary prize, the Goncourt, on Thursday with a novel that "scares the wits out of parents".
"Chanson douce" (roughly translated as "Sweet Song"), is based on the real-life story of a Dominican nanny shortly to stand trial for murdering two children she was looking after in New York in 2012.
The separate Renaudot prize, often seen as something of a consolation prize, went to "Babylone" by Yasmina Reza, best known for her hit play "Art".

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
