The American writer David Vann has been awarded France's Prix Medicis Etranger, recognising an author "whose fame does not yet match their talent", for Legend of a Suicide, his collection of genre-defying stories about his father's death. The book, Vann's second, has already met with widespread critical success in Europe, with the writer saying France is "a better home" than the US for his work.Duration: 00:48
