PARIS - US writer Joyce Carol Oates, so often a bridesmaid for the Nobel literature prize, won France's richest books prize Monday .

"Every day he's setting these little fires all over" while a"more dangerous fire... is corroding away, one by one, the things that we hold dear," she said last year.
