They've announced that Vladimir Sharov's Возвращение в Египет has won this year's Русский Букер -- the 'Russian Booker' prize.
(And, yes, while I'm pleased/almost impressed the announcement is up in a timely manner at the official site, that is one really unimpressive official announcement.)
See also some coverage at Lizok's Bookshelf (with bonus Sharov- and other Russian literary commentary ...).
I will be getting to Before & During -- and I do hope someone picks up this one too; it sounds intriguing and Sharov is clearly an author well worth paying attention to.
