YOUNG AUTHOR
AND. HIS PRIZE
MONEY FOR FLIGHT OVER SAHARA
Parls, Dec. 7.
The foremost important literary prizes for novels were distributed to-day. The prize which carries with it much the greatest prestige is, of course, the Goncourt. Al- though the prize is only 5,000 francs, It Is of much greator financial value as an advertisement. Only eight of the ten members of the "Academy" were present at the 30th annual dinner in the Restaur ant Drouant-the other two having voted by letter.
A little after noon M. Roland Dorgeles, the youngest of the ""jury," came out to tell the journa- lists-packed in the waiting-room like travellers on the Metro, dur. ing the rush hour-that the prizo- winner was Andre Malraux for his last novel, "La Condition du Humain."
This book portrays Chinese ro- volutionary intellectuals and Europ can capitalists-In Shanghai.
Matraux, who is 32, told the journalists that the prize was In deed a matter of life and death to him since it would enable him to buy more petrol for his approach- Ing flight over the unsubdued area of Mauretania, between the High Atlas and the nominally Spanish territory of Ifni and Rio do Oro,
Incidentally Malraux's book was not among the hundred sent to the Goncourt Academicians by authors and publishers.
Malraux spent much of his child. hood in French Indo-China, and learnt Chinese 'from his Cantonese nurse. His first book to be widely read was a study of Canton under Communist rule in the days when Borodin and Marshal Chinng Kal. shek were still allies.
He has spent many years in the Far East as far afield us Afghanis- lan and Mongolia, and has dis- covered a ruined city in the jungle of Indo-China. His next
novel deals with Perają and potrol-the political and social problems of hwakening Asia.
PRIX FEMINA.
The next most important prize, the Prix Femina, accorded by a jury of 21 women, was bestowed yesterday on Genevieve Fauconnier for a novel on childhood, "Claude " She is the slater of a Goncourt prizewinner of three years ago, the author of "Malaisie" (Malaya). and the wife of a Paris bookseller.
The two "consolation” prizes, the Interallio and the Theophraste Renaudot, went to Robert Bour- geon-Pailleron for his "L'Homme du Bresil," a novel of high finance. and to M. Charles Brabant for his Inng tale of country life in the Aiane district, "Le Roi. Dort."
The decisions of the four juries are the signal for passionate literary discussion not only on the winnora, but on the "also rans." The winning novela are rushed to booksellers by the publishers like grouse to the London poulterers on August 12.
