<i>Swann’s Way</i> and, that same year, a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship. She was named a Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government for her fiction and her translations, and received the 2013 Man Booker International Prize for fiction.
<i>The New York Review of Books</i> called her 2009 <i>Collected Stories</i> “one of the great books in recent literature.”
