The lucky winner will be surrounded immediately: Mathias Enard
Several jurors Académie Goncourt had the explicit promise in the last few days that they would get a “literary decision” cases in the allocation of their Roman stay. Because these are preceded by many political skirmishes. A preliminary decision fell during guest performances in Tunis, where the Goncourts just “2084″ took out of the race Boualem Sansals. That after the surprising resignation of the Algerian writer and his Tunisian colleague Hédi Kaddour would not come into play, was to be expected after the Académie Française just two together gave her novel price. Thus the way was free for the underdog Mathias Enard whose “Boussole” (Compass) is published by Actes Sud, which gets only the third time in its history, the Goncourt.
“Boussole” is a complex work in which it comes to languages, cultures, epochs, about people and cities such as Tehran, Istanbul, Damascus, Aleppo. The novel is dedicated to Syria; its main character is a Vienna-based musicologist Franz Ritter. Knight focuses on the influence of Turkey in the European music, during his sleepless nights he indulges his oriental obsessions. Énards demanding novel will be published in German in August next year at Hanser Berlin.
