At yesterday's awards ceremony for the European Union Literature Prize 2024 at the Brussels Book Fair, Deniz Utlu received a special mention for his novel
Father's Sea.
The aim of the European Union Prize for Literature (EUPL) is to place a spotlight on the creativity and diverse wealth of Europe’s contemporary literature in the field of fiction, promote the circulation of literature within Europe, and encourage greater interest in international literary works.
The Prize is open to the 41 countries currently involved in the Creative Europe programme. Each year, national organisations in a third of the participating countries nominate potential winning novels, making it possible for all countries and language areas to be represented over a three-year cycle.
Father''s Sea was chosen as this year''s German nominee by the Goethe Institut.
