We are delighted to announce that Bosnian writer Dževad Karahasan receives the Jeanette Schocken Prize 2019.

The jury states: »Dzevad Karahasan's books are absolutely contemporary, but timeless in a sophisticated way. They show the seductiveness of the people and describe state systems and their moral decay. It is an organic narrative, beyond all formal and linguistic effects.«

The prize includes a 7.500 Euro grant, the award ceremony will take place on 12 May 2019.

For more information please visit the author's Foreign Rights Website or contact the respective Rights Manager.
