They've announced that the 2016 Neustadt International Prize for Literature goes to the very worthy Dubravka Ugrešić (a nice surprise-conclusion to that conference on her they just held in New York).
The biennial prize is one of the leading international author-prizes, and has a strong list of previous winners (including several who went on to bag the Nobel too). There were some strong finalists for the 2016 prize -- including Can Xue -- but Ugrešić is very much a deserving winner.
Most of her available-in-English titles are under review at the complete review:
