They've announced a couple more of the French longlists, notably the Renaudot (twelve novels and seven works of non-fiction in the two categories; see, for example, coverage at L'Express -- and, yes, Lydie Salvayre's 7 femmes (see the Editions Perrin publicity page) is something I'm looking forward to ...) and the Médicis (see, for example, coverage at Le Magazine Littéraire),
as well as the prix Décembre (see, for example, coverage at BibliObs).
The Médicis is interesting because they also have a foreign-fiction category, with quite a few works by US and UK authors (including Hollingshurst, Didion, and Edna O'Brien) -- as well as Javier Marías' The Infatuations -- making the longlist-cut. It is also noteworthy that books by possible Nobel-contenders Marías and Joyce Carol Oates make the cut (again reaffirming their international stature).
