Six books are in the running for the 3rd Inclusive Literary Prize organized by the Charenton Libraries. The shortlisted titles include Au grand jamais by Jakuta Alikavazovic (Gallimard), Jouer le jeu by Fatima Daas (Éditions de l’Olivier), Un mal irréparable by Lionel Duroy (Mialet Barrault), Le monde est fatigué by Joseph Incardona (Finitudes, and in large type at Voir de Près editions), Perdre pays by Louise Oligny (Éditions Pélagie), and Des enfants uniques by Gabrielle de Tournemire (Flammarion). The prize, which focuses on inclusivity in literature, highlights themes such as exile, disability, gender equality, and social justice. The Inclusive Literary Prize is co-organized by several cultural institutions, including Le Palais de la Porte Dorée, the Bibliothèque Sonore de Charenton-le-Pont, the Valentin Haüy Association, and local libraries and bookstores. This year, it has received financial support from the Mutuelle Nationale Territoriale (MNT). The prize is open to all adults over 18, both in France and abroad, regardless of whether they have disabilities such as hearing or visual impairments. Participants are asked to read and vote for their favorite book from the six shortlisted titles. The voting is conducted through a secret ballot, either online or in person on May 22, 2027. Readers can stop reading a book at any time, and the emphasis is on personal reading pleasure. To take part, individuals need only register on the library’s website. The books are available in both paper and digital formats at the Charenton libraries, as well as from partner bookstores. People with disabilities can access accessible versions through the Bibliothèque Sonore or the Valentin Haüy Association. Three optional debate sessions are planned at the Quais de Charenton-le-Pont library, where discussions about the shortlisted books will take place. These sessions will be recorded and shared with those who cannot attend in person. The winner of the prize will be announced on May 22, 2027, and will be invited to meet readers in September 2027 during the launch of the 4th Inclusive Literary Prize. Last year, the prize was awarded to Christian Astolfi for L'Œil de la perdrix, published by Le Bruit du Monde.
