Why Did France Choose Proust Over a War Hero?
In 1919, just months after the First World War ended, France had to choose. Two novels competed for the nation’s most prestigious literary prize: one written by a soldier, soaked in mud and blood; the other, by a man who never saw the front, filled with memory, beauty, and love.
This is the true story of the Goncourt Prize — and the moment when literature had to answer: should we preserve the pain, or remember the light?
