What used to be the AKO Literatuurprijs is now the ECI Literatuurprijs; regardless, the €50,000 prize remains one of the biggest Dutch fiction prizes -- and they've announced that Het hout, by Jeroen Brouwers, takes this year's prize.
See the Dutch Foundation for Literature information page on the book.
Brouwers' Sunken Red was published in English quite a while back (from Peter Owen in the UK), but seems to have sunk out of print ages ago too; get your copy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.
