Kamel Daoud, Gaël Faye and Miguel Bonnefoy on the honor roll – Libération

The big price week is behind us. Seven days ago, Kamel Daoud was sixth. Boosted by the Goncourt won on Monday, he is comfortably first. Houris was already doing well (nearly 80,000 Books sold before the announcement), it will do even better (Gallimard announces the reprinting of 350,000 copies). Gaël Faye, whose name was also circulating in the back row, received the Renaudot the same day for Jacaranda, and remains on the podium, third. This year, even more than usual, it appears that the jurors of the different prizes agree with each other. However, this does not prevent duplicates. Thus Miguel Bonnefoy, rewarded Tuesday by Femina for the dream of the jaguar and already crowned with the Grand Prix du roman from the French Academy in October, up and fifth. The only thing missing is Julia Deck, winner of the Médicis on Wednesday for Ann of England, who should, following the same logic, join the season's winners on the honor roll: Ann, don't you see anything coming?
