Prize: Schweizer Buchpreis

       They've announced that Koala, by Lukas Bärfuss, has won this year's Swiss Book Prize, selected from 80 (unnamed ...) submissions (and note that the prize is only for written-in-German books).
       See also the Wallstein Verlag publicity page (which has some English book-information; scroll down and click on 'Englisch').
       Bärfuss' One Hundred Days came out in Tess Lewis' translation not too long ago; get your copy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.
