Journalist Philibert Humm received, Wednesday, November 9, the Interallié Prize for Roman River (editions of the Equators), a comic story of a descent on the Seine.

The entirely male jury elected its winner by five voices, against three to Pierre Adrian in the last round. These two finalists have the distinction of having published a book together in 2018, the Tour de la France by two children today.

The journalist of the world Pascale Robert-Diard also obtained votes from the previous towers. Philibert Humm, 31, is a journalist in Paris Match, and used to travel through France.

It is the second year in a row that the Interallié devotes a very young writer and an unusual publisher at the Grands Prix Prix d’Automne, after the iconoclast editions in 2021 to stop you to run , from Mathieu Palain.

The Interallié Prize was the last Autumn Literary Grand Prix. The Medici Prize was also awarded Tuesday to Emmanuelle Bayamack-Tam for the thirteenth hour, and the Femina on Monday in Claudie Hunzinger with a dog at my table. Last week, Brigitte Giraud won the Goncourt with Living quickly.
