I feel it's only a beginning for this book.

Generally speaking, I truly believe that 2006 is the literary annus 
mirabilis of the 21st century. So many exciting books just in one year! AtD, 
Danielewski, McCarthy, Powers, Chandra, Littell, the forthcoming Pelevin 
etc.

They handed out the first of the big French literary prizes yesterday, the 
Grand Prix du Roman de l'Académie Française, and Jonaathan Littell's Les 
Bienveillantes won, taking 12 votes (to 4 each for the other two finalists); 
see also the Reuters report Debutant American takes top French literary 
prize. Is it the start of a clean sweep of the big French prizes for 
Littell's bestseller ?
