The jury has released an initial selection of eight novels for the 2026 prize; four finalists will be announced on October 5.

The Grand Prix de Littérature Américaine has published the list of eight novels making up its inaugural selection for 2026, according to Livres Hebdo.
The jury will narrow the field to four finalists in a second list expected on Monday, October 5, Livres Hebdo reports.
