Christine Angot, Amélie Nothomb ... the literary season is already in full swing.
But beyond the essential books, a few lesser-known authors created a surprise by being selected to compete for the most prestigious prizes.
Overview of these good literary surprises to discover without further delay.
The novels of the literary season that will receive the prizes are gradually emerging from their competitors.
But before being awarded, you must already be selected.
There are the unmissable ones, such as
Le Voyage dans l'Est

The writer has toured the sets to talk about her book which addresses her experience of incest.
We also find in the first selection of the Goncourt Prize Philippe Jaenada, while Amélie Nothomb, she is in the running for the Renaudot prize.

Among the surprises, it is young voices who trust the selections.

Voyant d'Etampes
, on the starting line for the three Grand Prix Goncourt, Renaudot and Femina.
The same goes for Maria Pourchet and her novel
Feu
published by Fayard.
