The Augustpriset is the leading Swedish literary prize, and they've announced this year's winners.
They seem to have been in a real nostalgic-for-World-War-II mood this year: the fiction prize went to Ett kort uppehåll på vägen från Auschwitz by Göran Rosenberg (for English-language information, see the Uta Körner information page), while the non-fiction prize went to ”Det står ett rum här och väntar på dig…”. Berättelsen om Raoul Wallenberg by Ingrid Carlberg (see the Norstedts Agency information page).
