The 2013 Goncourt Prize, the most prestigious annual literary award, was given for “Au revoir là-haut” (Goodbye up there) by French novelist Pierre Lemaître at Drouant Restaurant in Paris on November 4.
Lemaître was chosen with six votes, against four for the runner-up Frédéric Verger, a young writer nominated for his first novel “Arden”.
The winning novel is about two French men returning from World War I, Albert and Edouard, who struggle to reintegrate into French society after the horrors of war. His novel has already sold more 100,000 copies.
“I am the happiest man in the world. It is a unique moment in a writer’s career. It is like a birth, a happy marriage,” Pierre Lemaître said after receiving the news.
The Goncourt is a prize in French literature, given by the Goncourt Academy to the author of “the best and most imaginative prose work of the year”./.
