Book Award Roundup: Governor General’s Awards French Language Shortlists/Livres français nominés pour les prix GG

We’ve talked already this year about many of the great books nominated for book awards this fall. However, we have only talked about books published in English. The Governor General’s Literary Awards recognize writing in both of Canada’s official languages and, in this post, we wanted to highlight some of the French language books shortlisted for the GGs in 2014..

On a déjà parle beaucoup cette année à propos des plusieurs bons livres nominés pour des prix littéraires cet automne. Mais, jusqu’à date, on n’a parlé que des livres publiés en anglais. Le Prix littéraire du Gouverneur général faire honneur aux tomes dans les deux langues officielles du Canada et, dans ce post, on veut souligner quelques livres français nominés pour les prix GG en 2014.
