They've announced that 'Brian Castro is the 2014 recipient of the Patrick White Literary Award' -- "traditionally awarded to authors who 'have made a significant but inadequately recognised contribution to Australian literature'".
(White endowed it with his Nobel-winnings.)
Castro is certainly 'inadequately recognised' outside Australia; maybe this will help bring a bit of attention to his work even in the US/UK.
