Beitrag zu Dana Vowinckel Shortlisted for the 2024 »Text & Sprache« Prize
Dana Vowinckel has made the shortlist for the »Text & Sprache« prize 2024 for her novel The World in a Ziplock Bag.

The »Text & Sprache« prize was first awarded in 1953 by the Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft, honouring »young, outstanding voices in contemporary literature«. This year’s jury was chaired by Dr Marcella Prior-Callwey and initially nominated 10 authors for their novels, plays and short story collections. The nominees have now been whittled down to the final three.

The award comes with a cash prize of €20,000, and aims to support authors and playwrights through collaborations with theatres and other partners.
