Prix des Deux Magots

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Prix des Deux Magots is a major French literary prize. It is presented to new works, and is generally awarded to works that more off-beat and less conventional than those that receive the more main stream Prix Goncourt.

The name derives from the still-extant parisian café "Les Deux Magots", which began life as a drapery store in 1813, taking its name from a popular play of the time, "The two Magots of China", became a wine merchant in the 1800s, and was refurbished in 1914 into a café.[1]
