The rentrée's prize season opens its lists
Télérama has begun publishing the shortlists for this year's main French literary prizes, including the Goncourt, the Femina and the Médicis, as the selections are announced through the autumn.
As every rentrée littéraire, October brings the first rounds of nominations for France's major book prizes. According to Télérama, the selections for the Goncourt, the Femina, the Médicis, the prize of the Académie française and the prix Décembre are being published as they are announced, with the outlet compiling the lists on a single running page.
Télérama's report does not yet specify which titles or authors appear on any of the lists, noting only that the selections will be added progressively as the juries release them over the coming weeks.
For readers tracking this year's rentrée, the sequence is a familiar one: first selections in the early autumn, narrowed lists through November, and winners announced before the end of the year. Tomeling will follow up once the individual shortlists are confirmed with actual titles.
