Louis Guilloux Prize

The Prix Louis-Guilloux is a French literary award established in 1983 by the Conseil général of the Côtes-d'Armor with the writers Yvon Le Men, Yannick Pelletier (specialist of Louis Guilloux). The idea of this prix is "to perpetuate the literary ideals and values of the Breton writer". The prize is granted each year to a work in the French language which is characterised by "the humane qualities of generous thought, refusing all dualism and all sacrifice of individuality in favour of ideological abstractions".
