The 2026 Goncourt Prize was awarded to Philippe Jaenada for “L’inconnue du quai de Javel” (Flammarion). In this novel, the French writer leads an investigation into an unsolved murder, that of Louise Cansot, model of the Montparnasse painters, found dead in the west of Paris.

At 62, Philippe Jaenada wins the most prestigious French literary prize, nine years after winning the Femina prize for “La Serpe”. An award which should give new impetus to the sales of his novel, which has already sold nearly 60,000 copies.

In this new issue of “À l'Affiche”, Louise Dupont looks back on this Goncourt and the other prizes of the literary season with Stanislas Rigot, manager of the Lamartine bookstore in Paris.
