Robert Menasse's novel Enlargement is one of just three titles still in the running for the Prix du Livre Européen 2023. Established in 2007 and organized by the association Esprit d'Europe, the prize seeks to promote European values and to contribute to an improved understanding of the European Union as a cultural entity.

A jury of journalists, headed by Giuliano Da Empoli, will meet on November 9, 2023 to choose the winning work. The results will be announced in late November at the European Parliament in Brussels. The winner receives a cash prize of 10,000 EUR.
