query: What is the history of the Prix Théophraste-Renaudot?
answer: The Prix Théophraste-Renaudot was created in 1926 by ten art critics waiting for the results of the Prix Goncourt jury.  While not officially connected, it complements the Prix Goncourt, with its laureate announced at the same time and place. The Renaudot jurors choose an alternate laureate if their first choice wins the Prix Goncourt.  The prize is named after Théophraste Renaudot, founder of the first French newspaper in 1631.  In 2013, it revived Gabriel Matzneff's career, which later collapsed due to revelations of pedophilia.
