"Choix Goncourt 2024"

Come and decide who will be the next winner of the Choix Goncourt US!!! The Prix Goncourt is one of the most prestigious francophone literary prizes, awarded each year since 1903 by the ten members of the Académie Goncourt in Paris. The class will read the four nominated novels, discuss the role of literary prizes and cultural diplomacy in the creation of cultural value, reflect on best practices as a selection committee, and choose our winner. We will then elect a delegate who will travel to New York in April to defend our choice, deliberate with the delegates of the other nine participating campuses, and vote on the next “Choix Goncourt des Etats-Unis”
