Best books to learn The Prix Goncourt, in order
The Goncourt has been awarded since 1903 out of Edmond de Goncourt's will, by an academy of ten writers who meet over lunch at the Drouant restaurant in Paris. The prize money is a token — famously a few euros — and it does not matter, because winning multiplies a novel's sales tenfold and effectively decides what France reads that year.
