We are delighted to announce that Stern 111 by Lutz Seiler is nominated for the Prize of the Leipzig Book Fair 2020 in the category fiction.

The jury states: »Lutz Seiler's great, masterful story ventures into the spell of Berlin, the space of possibilities, after '89, to basement bars and damp pre-war buildings with coal-burning stoves. Literary historiography between sleepwalking and squatters - here it becomes haunting in the very best sense of the word.«

The award includes a prize money of 60.000 euros and honors outstanding new publications in the categories fiction, non-fiction and translation.
