克莱齐奥在法国出生、用法语写作。不过他写的不光是法国。在他笔下，有非洲、美洲，有陆地、海洋，甚至还有不知名之处和莫须有之国。瑞典文学院在公报中形容他的作品为“新的旅程、诗意的冒险和感官的狂喜”，称赞作者探索了“主流文明之外的人类和为文明隐匿的人性”。
23岁大学毕业那年，克莱齐奥的小说处女作《诉讼笔录》出版，引发关注。这一作品也获得了在法国重要性仅次于龚古尔奖的勒纳多奖。克莱齐奥此后一发不可收拾，写出了《金鱼》、《流浪的星星》、《少年心事》和《战争》等20多部小说与文集。
《流浪的星星》是勒·克莱齐奥1992年的作品，是勒·克莱齐奥所有作品中最惹人喜爱的小说（中文版袁筱一翻译，1998年花城版,中文版也以售缺，正在赶印）。故事讲述二战结束后，犹太女孩艾斯苔尔和母亲一起出发去以色列，去寻找传说中的自己的家园，犹太人新的圣地，在那个梦想中应该处处绿树白鸽的地方。在前往圣地耶路撒冷的路上，她新近结识了阿拉伯女孩萘玛，萘玛此时正在前往难民营的路上，那个她自己刚刚离开的地方。所谓的圣地并没有给所有人带来向往的和平，自己家园的建立意味着别人家园的丧失。两个女孩的命运像两颗流星，继续在黑暗中寻找梦想。
Wandering Star is the moving story of two women, caught up in the turmoil of the Middle East, who aspire for peace—Esther, a Jewish girl who takes part in the founding of Israel, and Nejma, a Palestinian who becomes a refugee.
“Wandering Staris a luminous lesson in humanity amid the ruins of civilization and intelligence.”—Le Figaro
“Wandering Starcan unquestionably be ranked among the very great novels. This is true not only because of the precision and evocative power of the writing, the subtlety and balance of the construction, the magnitude and loftiness of the subject, but also because of the stature and the trajectory of the protagonist, Esther Greve, who survives the Holocaust only to be confronted in the land of her dreams with another tragedy.”—L’ Humanité
编辑推荐FromBooklist
Internationally acclaimed French novelist Le Clezio is a bewitching storyteller with a penchant for tales of survival that are at once acutely realistic and mythically romantic. In his latest hauntingly lyrical yet clear-eyed and worldly novel, he tells the story of two young women uprooted by the Holocaust and the establishment of the state of Israel. Esther and her parents are hiding from the Germans in a mountain village where the children run wild and grow strong while the adults risk their lives in the Resistance movement. Esther survives and, after much suffering, embarks on an arduous journey to Jerusalem. But as she and her fellow exhausted travelers finally near their promised land, they pass a stream of equally despairing, newly displaced refugees, among them Nejma, a Palestinian girl. Nejma then chronicles the misery of a gravely ill-provisioned camp and her heroic escape. Exquisitely attuned to nature's quest for balance and humanity's penchant for excess and paradox, Le Clezio writes with high compassion and deep wonder of the boundless strength of the spirit.Donna Seaman
