The star novel of the literary season, Dear bastard Virginie Despentes did not participate in the first selection of the Femina prize, which includes 16 French novels, the jury said Thursday.

If Virginie Despentes had been a member of this special female jury in 2015, that would not have been grounds for her dismissal. “The book did not come up in the discussion”A source close to the jury told AFP.

Among Femina’s selections, we found two titles that delighted the Goncourt and Renaudot juries: Grégoire Boilier’s, The heart does not yieldAn Investigation into Voluntary Pain in an Old Woman, Yves Ravi, TaorminaThe noir novel, set in Sicily, has already reaped the rewards of Nancy’s booksellers.
