Established for the first time in 1998 in Poland and now in 40 countries, the International Goncourt Selection is a global literary barometer to gauge how the Goncourt Prize’s shortlisted titles resonate with young audiences from around the world.\u00a0 The selection additionally serves a dual purpose of promoting French and Francophone contemporary literary works in their original language and encouraging the translation and publication of selected titles in English.<\/p>\n

As part of the 2024 selection committee, students from 10 American universities study the four books shortlisted in the latest Prix Goncourt selection over the course of months. This year, the participating universities include, Columbia University, Duke University, Harvard University, New York University, Princeton University, Yale University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Virginia, University of Florida, and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.<\/p>\n
