From the (alas, not identified) apparently 201 titles the jury considered, they have now announced that the Jury nominates 20 novels for the German Book Prize 2013 as the longlist has been unveiled.
Some familiar names here, though the only two I have are the Glavinic and the Widmer; there are several more I'd like to see, starting with Daniel Kehlmann's F (which I assume is also the title-most-likely-to-appear-in-English-first from this list)
A six-title shortlist will be announced 11 September (a day after the Man Booker shortlist is announced ...), and the winner will be announced at the Frankfurt Book Fair, on 7 October (a safe full week before the Man Booker winner is announced).
