They've announced that The Druze of Belgrade [دروز بلغراد] by Rabee Jaber wins International Prize for Arabic Fiction 2012, now in its fifth year.
Arabic Literature (in English) has some photos from the ceremony -- and reports the good news that New Directions has apparently signed up three of Jaber's titles, including this one.
