Many were waiting for Amélie Nothomb, but the Goncourt finally chose to reward Jean-Paul Dubois. The author of "All men do not live the world the same way" (ed Olivier) has won the 117th prize Goncourt in the second round of voting by 6 votes against 4, Monday, November 4.
Discreet and popular writer, Jean-Paul Dubois has already been crowned by the Femina prize (in 2004 for "A French life"). The 69-year-old from Toulouse has been building a work for thirty years that seduces with its delicacy and profound humanity.
