The Interallié jury has revealed the names of the four novelists likely to receive its prize.
Four novelists are still in the running for the 2024 Interallié Prize which will be awarded on November 13.
The thriller author Olivier Norekpour Winter Warriors (Michel Lafon) on the war between Finland and the Soviet Union in 1939-1940 was one of the surprises of this literary season. He was in the Goncourt and Renaudot selections. He ultimately received the Giono Prize.
Thibault de Montaigu is also in the race with Coeur (Albin Michel), very good, moving autobiographical novel, structured around the figure of his dandy father and his great-grandfather who died in 1914 in a cavalry charge.
Abel Quentin is also among the finalists with his novel Hut (The Observatory) which focuses on the fate of the authors of one of the first reports which warned against the collapse of terrestrial ecosystems.
Last but not least, Delphine Minouia leading reporter in the Middle East, notably for Le Figaro, and winner of the Albert Londres Prize in 2006, published his first novel this fall, Badjens (Threshold) on the fight of Iranian women.
The winner will be announced on Wednesday November 13 at the restaurant Chez Lasserre in the VIIIe district of Paris. The winner will succeed Humusby Gaspard Koenig (publishing of the Observatory).
The jury for the Interallié prize is made up of Jean-Marie Rouart (president), Stéphane Denis, Gilles Martin-Chauffier, Eric Neuhoff, Christophe Ono-dit-Biot, Jean-Christophe Rufin, Jean-René Van der Plaesten and Florian Zeller.
