From the jury statement:

»Nora Bossong writes novels, essays and reportages – and the way she owns all these literary genres is impressive. In her volume of poetry Kreuzzug mit Hund she invokes not least of all the European idea, in her literary reportage Rotlicht she explores an area into which women are not admitted, her novel Schutzzone, to be published this autumn, is not just about the ›many shades of hesitation‹  that determine the life of a young employee at the United Nations in Geneva; first and foremost, everything in it revolves around one fundamental literary question: ›Do you choose a life? Or aren’t you rather just living it?‹ The jury of the Kranichsteiner Prize for Literature is impressed by the virtuosity and literary intelligence of this […] author.«
