Serge Bramly has won the Prix Interallié for his Le premier principe, Le second principe (The first principle, the second principle), maring the end of this year's French literary prize season.
According to the Guardian, judges for the Interallié, which is awarded to a novel by a journalist, were initially split over the winner, with Bramly eventually taking it with six votes to Jean-Paul Enthoven's four for his Ce que nous avons eu de meilleur, and one to Dominique Jamet, for Un traître (A traitor).
Tunisian-born Bramly's win follows Afghanistan-born Atiq Rahimi's triumph in this year's Goncourt, and Guinean novelist Tierno Monénembo winning the Renaudot.
The French literary prize season is completed by Jean-Louis Fournier winning the prix Femina for his bestseller Où on va papa? (Where are we going dad?), Marc Bressant taking the Académie française for La dernière conférence (The last conference), and Jean-Marie Blas de Roblès triumphing in the Prix Médicis for Là où les tigres sont chez eux (Where the tigers are at home).
