Vintage Original B&W Photo, Albertine Sarrazin won the Prix des Quatre Juries in 1966

Sarrazin wrote her first novels while incarcerated, L’Astragale and La Cavale, which were published after her release in 1964 (the title’s astragale refers to the French word for the talus bone, which both she and the novel’s protagonist broke on their escapes from jail). Her works became bestsellers, and she was invited to appear on television; La Cavale, written in secret during her incarceration in 1961 and 1962, won the Prix des Quatre Juries in 1966; Astragale was also translated into English at that same time. Their success allowed the married couple to settle in Montpellier, where she wrote her third story, La Traversière, which also proved successful. However, she passed away soon afterward from complications during kidney surgery.
