Portraits of Goncourt awards at Drouant (illustration) -

A. Gelebart / 20 Minutes

Imagine yourself at the heart of the Goncourt jury with the possibility of giving your vote to one of the four finalists: 

L'Anomalie

 d'Hervé Le Tellier, a curious novel of anticipation that takes place in a plane in 2021 (published by Gallimard and who is a favorite),

The Impatientes

 of the only woman among the finalists, Djaïli Amadou Amal, on three Africans who can not bring themselves to the patience that is instilled in them from an early age (edited by Emmanuelle Collas) ,

Theseus, his new life

 in which Camille de Toledo unties the long thin thread of painful family secrets (at Verdier) and the

Historiographer of the kingdom

 by Maël Renouard, the most unexpected of the four, but not the least noble, nor the least brilliant in literary terms (Grasset).

These four books have already been the subject of detailed files by the contributing readers of the

20 Minutes

literary platform

.

Do not hesitate to consult them and be inspired by them before ticking the box of your choice on the bulletin below.

You will not participate in the feasts of November 30, the day of the final deliberation at Drouant, but you will have contributed to electing the Goncourt of

20 Minutes

readers

.

It's already that.
