Announcement (Sept. 6, 2008):The jury of the Heimito von Doderer Prize is awarding this year's first prize to Jenny Erpenbeck, an author born in 1967.
The jury singled out for particular praise her latest work, the novel Heimsuchung, which appeared in 2008.
The prize for a developing author will go to the Bosnian author Sasa Stanisics, who writes in German. Born in 1978, Stanisics is receiving this distinction for his novel Wie der Soldat das Grammofon repariert, which appeared in German in 2006 and in English in 2008 as How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone, translated by Anthea Bell.
A special prize for biography will be awarded to Reiner Stach for his Kafka: Die Jahre der Erkenntnis, translated into English as Kafka: The Decisive Years, in a translation by Shelley Frisch.
The prizes will be awarded on September 6, 2008, in Cologne.
