They've announced that The Devil's Workshop-author Jáchym Topol has won this year's Vilenica International Literary Prize.
The list of previous winners is very impressive -- Krasznahorkai won it last year, Albahari in 2012, Cărtăarescu in 2011, Nádas in 1998, Milan Kundera in 1992, Zbigniew Herber in 1991, and Peter Handke in 1987. So, another prize that can be taken pretty seriously.
