Prix Interallié 2026: first list unveiled, calendar set through November
The jury has announced its opening selection for this year's prize, with two more rounds to come before the winner is named next month at Lasserre.
The Prix Interallié has released its first selection for 2026, according to Livres Hebdo. The trade publication did not detail which titles or authors made this initial cut in the item reporting the announcement.
What is confirmed is the calendar ahead: a second selection will be announced on 7 October, followed by a third on 5 November. The jury will then proclaim the winning novel on 18 November at 13:00, at the restaurant Lasserre in Paris, where the prize is traditionally awarded.
The Interallié, created in 1930, is one of the prizes that punctuates the French literary autumn alongside the Goncourt, the Renaudot and the Femina, and is traditionally attributed to a novel by a journalist or writer with ties to the press. Further details on the books and authors in contention are expected as the successive selections narrow the field over the coming weeks.
