Jean-Noël Orengo wins the Prix des Deux Magots
The Paris café prize, long a marker of literary distinction, goes this year to Orengo's novel La Rédemption, published by Grasset.
The jury of the Prix des Deux Magots has awarded its 2026 prize to Jean-Noël Orengo for his novel La Rédemption, published by Grasset, according to Livres Hebdo.
The prize, named for the Saint-Germain-des-Prés café where it was founded in 1933 as a counterpoint to the Prix Goncourt, is traditionally announced in early autumn and has long been regarded as a marker of literary distinction within French letters.
Livres Hebdo's report does not provide further detail on the novel's subject or on the jury's deliberations.
