Amélie Nothomb
(1967)

Automne 2007: la Belge Amélie Nothomb se voit remettre le prix de Flore pour Ni d’Ève ni d’Adam. La presse souligne De sa victoire: non seulement la récompense, qui distingue habituellement de jeunes auteurs, a été remise au seiziëme roman de l’écrivaine, mais le jury, assumant de ne pas suivre de règles, a choisi un ouvrage qui ne figurait pas dans sa dernière fiste officielle. Nothomb rejoint ainsi les auteurs qui, depuis 1994, reçoivent un verre à pied gravé à leur patronyme, dans lequel sera servie un an durant une consommation. Avec une longue tradition de trophées portant le nom de ses cafés, Saint-Germain n’en est pas à son premier rebondissement. Depuis les années 1930 et la création du prix des Deux Magots, la coutume se perpétue, inscrivant une partie de l’histoire littéraire dans les bistrots de la Rive gauche.

Amélie Nothomb
(1967)

Autumn 2007: Belgian Amélie Nothomb is awarded the Flore prize for Ni d’Ève ni d’Adam. The press highlights her victory: not only was the award, which usually distinguishes young authors, given to the writer’s sixteenth novel, but the jury, assuming not to follow any rules, chose a work which did not appear in his last official fisting. Nothomb thus joins the authors who, since 1994, have received a stemmed glass engraved with their surname, in which a drink will be served for a year. With a long tradition of trophies bearing the name of its cafes, Saint-Germain is not at its first twist. Since the 1930s and the creation of the Prix des Deux Magots, the custom has continued, inscribing a part of literary history in the bistros of the Left Bank.
