Médicis prize unveils its first 2026 selection
The jury has released its opening list for this year's prize, with the second round due next month and the winner named in November.
The jury of the prix Médicis has revealed its first selection for 2026, according to Livres Hebdo. The trade publication did not detail which titles or authors made the cut in its report.
A second, narrower list will follow on October 15, Livres Hebdo reports, ahead of the announcement of the winner on November 2. The prize will be proclaimed, as is customary, from the restaurant La Méditerranée in Paris.
The Médicis, created in 1958, is one of the French literary season's major autumn prizes, awarded each year to a novel, an essay and a foreign-language work. Further details on this year's nominees are expected as the selection process advances.
