The shortlist, reduced to seven works, focuses exclusively on lesbian subject matter, marking a thematic concentration for this year’s Gouincourt Foreign Prize.
Organisers confirmed that the final proclamation of the winner will take place on 10 November at the cultural venue La Bellevilloise.
Details of the individual titles were not disclosed in the announcement, but the selection underscores the prize’s commitment to highlighting LGBTQ+ narratives in translation.
The event at La Bellevilloise is expected to gather translators, publishers and authors interested in the promotion of lesbian literature across borders.
