• Comment: Source is under a paywall but can be accessed by users with access to Wikipedia library (check cairn-info). The source is in French. I'm not sure which hook has better wording, but traditionally there are considered to be six major awards, which the source lists - Prix Renaudot, Prix Goncourt, Prix Femina, Prix Médicis, Prix Interallié, and Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française (https://guides.loc.gov/french-collections/french-literary-prizes). I've reproduced the table below.

  • @Schwede66: the passage shows a table of Haitian writers that have won one of the six awards with dates and names of the authors. I'm struggling to reproduce the table, since every time I do so, the DYK template throws an error. Jaguarnik (talk) 23:06, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

@Jaguarnik: You should try replacing the vertical bars with |, like so:
