  <about><![CDATA[Daniel Pennac (real name Daniel Pennacchioni is a French writer. He received the Prix Renaudot in 2007 for his essay Chagrin d'école.

After studying in Nice he became a teacher. He began to write for children and then wrote his book series &quot;La Saga Malaussène&quot;, that tells the story of Benjamin Malaussène, a scapegoat, and his family in Belleville, Paris.
His writing style can be humorous and imaginative like in &quot;La Saga Malaussène&quot;, but he has also written essays, such as &quot;Comme un roman&quot;, a pedagogic essay.&quot;La Débauche&quot;, written jointly with Jacques Tardi, treats the topic of unemployment, revealing his social preoccupations.
