German Book Prize Shortlist
The shortlist for the German Book Prize has just been announced. The winner (who gets €25,000) will be announced at the Frankfurt Book Fair in October.
I’m not familiar with any of these writers, but the exciting thing is that we’ll get a chance to read some English samples on signandsight.com soon. Here’s the list:
- Die Mittagsfrau / Lady Midday by Julia Franck
- Das bin doch ich / Isn’t that me? by Thomas Glavinic
- Abendland / Occident by Michael Köhlmeier
- Böse Schafe / Angry Sheep by Katja Lange-Müller
- Der Mond und das Mädchen / The Moon and the Maiden by Martin Mosebach
- Wallner beginnt zu fliegen / Wallner begins to fly by Thomas von Steinaecker
