It's a first.
The pandemic got the better of the traditional lunch of deliberation of the jurors of the Goncourt Prize.
This year, they met not at the Drouant restaurant to nominate their finalists, but by videoconference.
Four authors are therefore still in the running.
Among them, a woman:
Djaïli Amadou Amal
who competes with
Les Impatientes
published by Emmanuelle Collas editions.
Hervé Le Tellier
and his novel
L'Anomalie
(Gallimard) is on the second list of the Medici and Renaudot.
Maël Renouard
, meanwhile, is still present with
The Historiographer of the Kingdom
, (Grasset), in the first list of the Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française.
Finally,
Camille de Toledo
remains in the race with his novel
Thésée, sa vie nouvelle
(Verdier).
Who will succeed Jean-Paul Dubois and his novel
All men do not inhabit the world in the same way
(Ed. De l'Olivier)?
The proclamation will take place on Tuesday, November 10.
Will it take place at the Drouant restaurant or there again, virtually?
