The Heinrich-Mann_Preis is a German author prize, with a focus not on fiction but on 'Essayistik' -- a not-quite-non-fiction prize ('Essayistik' is part of the broader 'Sachbuch' category, but not equivalent to it) -- and they've now announced that Adam Zagajewski (Another Beauty, etc.) will be getting this year's prize (on 27 March).
An award of the German Akademie der Künste, it's not top dollar -- 'just' €8,000 -- but is certainly very prestigious.
