As love german books notes, they've announced that the Swiss Book Prize (which is, of course, merely the Swiss German Book Prize -- French, Italian, etc. works not welcome) has gone to the essay-collection, Das Kalb vor der Gotthardpost, by Peter von Matt; see also the Hanser publicity page.
It beat out 75 other entries, and while it's disappointing to see that non beats out fiction (and also that they're lumped together here ...), von Matt is certainly a fine writer.
