Dear @bookstodon #bookstodon , French literary prices season has started. All the Grands Prix like the #prixgoncourt have published their #longlist . Since the #nobelprizeforliterature for #AnnieErnaux has shifted the focus away from Houellebecq & Carrière, I think it's interesting to look what's on the lists. (And I liked last year's Prix Goncourt winner, Vivre vite by Brigitte Giraud a lot.) Here's a great ressource to keep track of the prices.
