Anne Godard wins the Prix des libraires de Nancy – Le Point for her novel "Nous aussi"
The writer's third novel, one of the most discussed titles of this year's rentrée littéraire, has picked up a first major prize while still in contention for the Goncourt.
Anne Godard's third novel, "Nous aussi", has been awarded the Prix des libraires de Nancy – Le Point 2026, according to France Culture. The book had already been named among the most noticed titles of this year's rentrée littéraire and remains in the running for several other prizes, including the Goncourt.
France Culture interviewed Godard for its programme "Les Midis de culture", where she discussed the novel and the way she worked to give shape, through language itself, to material she described as difficult to tell directly.
C'est dans la langue que j'ai trouvé le moyen de dire ce que j'essayais de raconter.
