Renaudot jury names its 2026 finalists, novel and essay categories
The shortlists for this year's prix Renaudot have been revealed, with winners to be announced on 3 November at Drouant, right after the Goncourt.
The jury of the prix Renaudot has unveiled its finalists for 2026 in the two categories it awards each year, the novel prize and the essay prize, according to Livres Hebdo.
The source material available to this desk does not list the names of the shortlisted books or authors, so none can be reported here.
The winners will be proclaimed on 3 November at the restaurant Drouant in Paris, immediately after the announcement of the prix Goncourt, Livres Hebdo reports. The two prizes are traditionally revealed back to back on the same day, each jury convening at Drouant in the autumn ritual that closes the rentrée littéraire season.
