The ladies of Femina met on October 1 to establish their second list of French and foreign novels, as well as their first list of essays.
Who will succeed Neige Sinno and his book Sad Tiger (POL)? The ladies of Femina met on October 1 to narrow down their first selection around ten novels and establish their list of essays. We find authors already in the running for the big fall prizes. Among them, the unmistakable Gaël Faye, who competes for the Goncourt, the Grand Prix du roman de l’Académie française and the Renaudot.
We also note the names of Miguel Bonnefoy present in the list of Renaudot, the Grand Prix du roman de l’Académie française and the Médicis; Christophe Bigot in the running for the Décembre and Les Deux Magots prizes, Hélène Gaudy is competing at the Goncourt and Antoine Choplin at the Renaudot. Finally, Julia Deck appears in the Medici and Décembre selections.
