Who enters Kamel Daoud with HourisGaël Faye with JacarandaSandrine Collette with Madelaine before dawn and Hélène Gaudy with Archipelagos will win the 2024 Goncourt Prize? Response at 1 p.m., November 4, from the Drouant restaurant in Paris where the jurors meet according to immutable folklore. The discussions had been so heated during the two previous editions that it took 14 rounds to decide between Brigitte Giraud and Vivre vite in 2022 then Jean-Baptiste Andrea with Veiller sur elle in 2023. What will happen this year?
Kamel Daoud and Gaël Faye are favorites with their novels which both focus on the traumas of civil wars and the silence that covers them. For each of these authors, this is their second novel, published, for both, almost 10 years after their first great success, Meursault counter-investigation for Kamel Daoud (Goncourt finalist in 2014) and Small country for Gaël Faye. Another similarity: Houris et Jacaranda have already achieved great public success.
