Missed It: Your 2010 Le prix Ouest-France-Quai des Bulles Nominees

The FPI blog caught something that just blew by me: the shortlist for the 2010 Ouest-France-Quai des Bulles prize, one of the first signs I've seen that the super-crowded French-language awards season is about to gear up. It's also a very typically French award in that it's run by a group of mainstream newspaper publications, the final prize will be selected via the participation of its readership, and the winner will get not one but two awards in addition to the honor itself: a little over $2500 (USD) in a cash prize and a promotional effort in the publishing group's publications.

The nominees are as follows. The list includes the French-language version of Joe Sacco's powerful Footnotes In Gaza, what I think was the best new work published in the English language in 2009.

* Cinq mille kilometres par seconde, Manuele Fior (Atrabile)
* Coucou tristesse, Sergio Salma and Baron Brumaire (Drugstore)
* Gaza 1956, Joe Sacco (Futuropolis)
* J'ai pas tue de Gaulle mais ca a bien failli, Bruno Heitz (Bayou)
* Junk Volume Two: Pay Back, Bruno and Pothier (Treize Étrange)
* Le Montespan, Jean Teule and Philippe Bertrand (Delcourt)
* Lydie, Lafebre and Zidrou (Dargaud)
* Page noire, Giroud, Lapiere and Ralph Meyer (Futuropolis)
* Toute la poussiere du chemin, Jaime Martin and Wander Antunes (Dupuis)
* Une vie chinoise Two: Le temps du parti, P.Otie and Li Kunwu (Kana)
