These are all from Locus Online:

• Le Grand Prix d l'Imaginaire awards were announced this past weekend at the Utopiales International SF Festival in Nantes, France, and the complete list of nominees and winners are available here. Winners of interest to us include a Graham Joyce novel in the "Roman etrangere" category and Lucius Shepard's "Aztechs" in the "Nouvelle etrangere" category. Also, Brian Aldiss received a special award and Jonathan Stroud's "Bartimaeus Trilogy" tied with a book called La Vie suspendue in the "Roman jeunesse" category.
• Also just released is the Long List for the International IMPAC DUBLIN Literary Award, which is quite long -- a couple of dozen books are listed -- and includes Margaret Atwood's The Penelopiad, John Crowley's Lord Byron's Novel, Bret Easton Ellis's Lunar Park, Jasper Fforde's The Big Over Easy, Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys, Michel Houellebecq's The Possibility of an Island, Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian, Fiona McIntosh's Odalisque, Haruki Murakami's Kafka on the Shore, and possibly other books with fantasy elements that I didn't notice.
• Jonathan Littell has just won France's prestigious Prix Goncourt literary award for his novel Les Bienveillantes/The Kindly Ones. He is the first American to win that award. Locus notes that his first novel was a mass-market cyberpunk book called Bad Voltage in 1989.
