The Spanish Premio Nacional de Narrativa is a leading novel-prize awarded by the Spanish government, worth a decent €20,000, and it's probably no surprise that they've announced that En la orilla, by Rafael Chirbes, has taken this prize too -- as I mentioned at the end of last year, this was pretty much the unanimous book of the year in Spain, more so than any in recent memory; see also the Anagrama foreign rights page (where they suggest the English title, On the Shore).
New Directions (US) and Harvill Secker (UK) are bringing this out in English, but it'll still be a while, apparently; meanwhile, see, for example, the review at The Modern Novel.
