The Nordic Council Literature Prize is the top Scandinavian book award, and it has a solid track record -- just see the winning titles under review at the complete review -- and they've now announced that Jon Fosse -- a Nobel favorite in recent years, though better known for his dramas -- takes the 2015 prize for his Trilogien; see, for example, the Samlaget publicity page.
Dalkey Archive Press has brought out several of his books, including Melancholy -- with several coming out/due just recently, some of which I should be getting to.
