Author Description Mathias Énard studied Persian and Arabic and spent long periods in the Middle East. A professor of Arabic at the University of Barcelona, he won the Prix des Cinq Continents de la Francophonie and the Prix Edmée-de-La-Rochefoucauld for his first novel, <em>La perfection du tir</em>. He has been awarded many prizes for <em>Zone</em>, including the Prix du Livre Inter and the Prix Décembre.<br /><br /><i>Compass</i>, which garnered Énard the renowned Prix Goncourt in 2015, traces the intimate connection between Western humanities and art history, and Islamic philosophy and culture.

His latest publications include a poetry collection titled <i>Dernière communication à la société proustienne de Barcelone</i> (Final message to the Proust Society of Barcelona) and <i>Le Banquet annuel de la confrérie des fossoyeurs</i>, a long novel published in 2020.
