Peter Handke won't be heading to Stockholm in December, but continues to pick up literary prizes left and right, and they've now announced that he will get the Würth-Preis für Europäische Literatur -- a biennial €25,000 literary prize -- next spring.
He's the tenth winner of the prize; among previous winners are Claudio Magris (2000), Nobel laureate Herta Müller (2006), and Nádas Péter (2014); Nádas was also one of the jury-members who selected Handke (as was Lars Gustafsson).
