Le prix littéraire de la Bibliothèque Américaine à Paris est attribué à The Novel of the Century: The Extraordinary adventure of Les Misérables Pour diffusion immédiate 3 novembre 2017 PARIS - The Novel of the Century: The Extraordinary Adventure of Les Misérables, de David Bellos: Voici le grand gagnant du prix de la Bibliothèque Américaine à Paris, distinction créée il y a cinq ans. “Les romans s’essayant à la critique d’une oeuvre littéraire se révèlent souvent réducteurs, cherchant avant tout à replacer l’oeuvre d’art dans son contexte, tant et si bien qu’ils en oublient l’essentiel: l’oeuvre en elle-même” a écrit le jury, composé d’Adam Gopnik, rédacteur attitré du New York times; de Stacy Schiff, lauréate du Prix Pulitzer, et de Bruno Racine, ancien directeur de la Bibliothèque nationale de France. The Novel of the Century: The Extraordinary Adventure of Les Misérables se présente comme une exception bienvenue et particulièrement pertinente. Certes très dense en contenu socio-historique, le roman de Victor Hugo reste au coeur du récit. Les autres livres présélectionnés cette année étaient: ●

The Inquisitor’s Tale: Or, The Three Magical Children and Their Holy Dog, d’Adam Gidwitz



Mad Enchantment: Claude Monet and the Painting of the Water Lilies, de Ross King



Duck Season: Eating, Drinking, and Other Misadventures in Gascony — France's Last Best Place, de David McAninch



I’m Supposed to Protect You from All This: A memoir, de Nadja Spiegelman



The Némirovsky Question: The Life, Death, and Legacy of a Jewish Writer in Twentieth-Century France, de Susan Suleiman

D’après le jury, “on apprend avant tout à aimer Victor Hugo - cet artiste héroïque travaillant malgré l’exil, en opposition avec son gouvernement, capable de conter le récit d’une révolte ponctuelle et d’en faire une histoire universelle pour le monde entier, l’un des plus vibrants plaidoyers pour la liberté humaine”. Bellos, né en 1945, est professeur de Littérature Française et de Littérature Comparée à l’université de Princeton. Il y dirige également le Programme pour la Traduction et la Communication Interculturelle. Bellos est l’auteur de Is That a Fish in Your Ear?: Translation and the Meaning of Everything et Georges Perec: A Life in Words, entre autres livres. Ce prix annuel est soutenu par une contribution de la Fondation Florence Gould, et sa cinquième édition concernait des livres publiés pour la première fois entre le 1er Juillet 2016 et le 30 Juin 2017. La Bibliothèque Américaine à Paris fut fondée en 1920 par l'American Library Association, grâce à un fonds constitué par les livres envoyés aux soldats américains durant la première guerre mondiale. Depuis, la bibliothèque n’a cessé de se développer et constitue aujourd’hui la plus grande réserve de livres en langue anglaise sur le continent Européen, et peut-être même au sein de tout pays nonanglophone de par le monde. En plus d’Adam Gopnik, de Stacy Schiff et de Bruno Racine, le conseil des écrivains de la Bibliothèque américaine est constitué par Diane Johnson, présidente du conseil, ainsi que Pierre Assouline, Laura Auricchio, Julian Barnes, Antony Beevor, Laurent de Brunhoff, Christopher Buckley, Michael Chabon, Sebastian Faulks, Laura Furman, Robert Harris, John Irving, Alice Kaplan, Ethan Katz, Philippe Labro, Fredrik Logevall, Joyce Carol Oates, Robert Paxton, Lily Tuck, Scott Turow, et enfin Ayelet Waldman.
