French literary award given each year in November


The Prix Médicis is a French literary award given each year in November. It was founded in 1958 by Gala Barbisan [fr] and Jean-Pierre Giradoux [fr].[1] It is awarded to an author whose "fame does not yet match his talent".[citation needed]

The award goes to a work of fiction in the French language. In 1970 the Prix Médicis étranger was added to recognize a book published in translation. The Prix Médicis essai has been awarded since 1985 for non-fiction works.
