Le prix Interallié was awarded Tuesday to Serge Joncour for “Rest on me” (Flammarion), a novel of love between two beings inhabited by the loneliness. Serge Joncour was chosen in the first round by 6 votes to 4 to Eric Vuillard (“14 July”, Actes Sud) and 2 Gaël Faye (“Small country”, Grasset).
last year, the Allied had rewarded Laurent Binet to “The seventh function of language” (Grasset). Chaired by Philippe Tesson, the jury of the inter-Allied consists of Laurent Binet, Gilles-Martin Chauffier, Stéphane Denis, Jacques Duquesne, Serge Lentz, Christophe Ono-dit-Biot, Jean-Marie Rouart, Jean-Christophe Rufin and Florian Zeller.
the opposite of books rather dark published this fall, the novel by Serge Joncour is a novel optimistic, a love story that ends well between Aurore, a stylist, married woman and mother of a family confused and Ludovic, a servicer of debt, a widower and taciturn.The roma n is already a bestseller.
Aurora and Ludovic live in the same building. They cross without seeing. Each represents to the other everything that he hates. Yet, the miracle of love will occur. Dawn realizes that only Ludovic (a force of nature that is quite similar to Serge Joncour itself) is the only one able to listen to him when his life breaks the water (his partner is trying to evict him from their company, her husband is focused on his work). Ludovic, meanwhile, knows this loneliness that looks like hers and helping Dawn will, perhaps, save himself. Who ultimately takes care of the other? This is the crux of the novel and Joncour responds to this issue with great finesse.
Serge Joncour paints a nice portrait of the “good people”. The cynical ricaneront, most readers will appreciate this humanity, that is, novels in novels, is the trademark of the author of “The national writer”. “My novel is the portrait of an encounter”, had summarized the writer, at the age of 54 years.
The price of Flora Nina Yargekov for “Dual citizenship“
The novelist Nina Yargekov received Tuesday, the prix de Flore for “Dual nationality” (P. O. L.) a novel jubilant about the loss of memory and identity.
Nina Yargekov was selected in the second round by 7 votes to 3 to Cédric Gras (“Anthracite”, Stock) and also 3 votes to Boris Bergmann (“Deserter”, Calmann-Levy).
last year, the price had been attributed to Jean-Noël Orengo for “The Flower of capital” (Grasset).
“Double nationality”takes up this theme in a zany and irresistible. That is Rkvaa Nnoyeig, the narrator? It is discovered in a parisian airport, with a suitcase (normal in an airport), a tiara in her hair (one begins to wonder) and two passports, two mobile phones, two wallets in his bag! Rkvaa is completely amnesic! She remembers nothing except that she likes to… Enrico Macias.
the jury of The prix de Flore, presided over by Frédéric Beigbeder, is composed of Jacques Braunstein, Manuel Carcassonne, Carole Chrétiennot, Michèle Fitoussi, Jean-René Van Der Plaetsen, François Reynaert, Jean-Pierre Saccani, Bertrand de Saint-Vincent, Christophe Tison, Philippe Vandel and Arnaud Revitalising.
The award consists of a cheque of 6.100 euros, and a glass of Pouilly engraved with the name of the winner, “to consume without moderation”during a year at the Café de Flore, in Paris.
