The artist and novelist Claudie Hunzinger won the Femina prize for the French novel on Monday November 7 with A dog at my table (Grasset editions). Gathered at the Carnavalet museum in Paris, the exclusively female jury chose its winner in the first round, by six votes against three to Grégoire Bouillier. A dog at my table tells how the arrival of a young dog will change the life of a couple living in the depths of the Vosges. Claudie Hunzinger, 82, also a visual artist, won the December prize in 2019 with her previous novel, The Great Deer.
The Femina Prize for Foreign Novel went to Britain’s Rachel Cusk for The addiction (Gallimard). This fiction tells a camera between three couples won over by pride. The Femina Essay Prize was awarded to historian Annette Wieviorka for Tombs, autobiography of my family (Threshold). A special prize was awarded for all of his work to the Franco-Polish Krzysztof Pomian, author of a sum in three volumes, The Museum, a world history (Gallimard). Two last great autumn literary prizes remain to be awarded: the Medici on Tuesday and the Interallié on Wednesday.
