We are excited to announce that Esther Kinsky has been awarded the Prize of the Leipzig Book Fair 2018 for Hain.

From the jury's statement: »What a school of perception. The stimulus reduction emphasises every last inconspicuous detail with almost supernatural exactitude; the quietness swells into a chant of objects […] One can only do justice to the unspectacular melody of this book and the rhythmical precision of its sentences, if one reads it slowly, with a patience that expects nothing, only then to be rewarded with astonishment at the abundance of its detail.«

The Prize of the Leipzig Book Fair is awarded in three categories (Fiction, Non Fiction, Translation) and is endowed with EUR 60.000 in total.

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

Esther Kinsky was born in Engelskirchen in 1956.

Kinsky’s novel Grove won the Preis der Leipziger Buchmesse 2018 and the Düsseldorfer Literaturpreis 2018, was shortlisted for the Europese Literatuurprijs 2021, longlisted for the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation 2021, and the English translation by Caroline Schmidt was nominated for the 2021 Oxford-Weidenfeld Prize.
