Hello
This is a bit late, with the Nobel Prize for Literature heating up last week and then the rather disappointing announcement that the Chinese author Mo Yan had won the Nobel Prize for Literature; it had overshadowed the German Book Prize’s announcement of this year’s award. Ursula Krechel the only woman nominated for this year’s German Book Prize has won it for her novel “District Court.” Which you will recall recounts Germany recent past. Taking place just after World War II, about a German-Jew who returns to a homeland that he can neither recognize or identity with. Ursula Krechel had beat two previous shortlisted authors Clements J Setz and Stephan Tome, while also beating out the new comers.
My delayed congratulations are in order for Ursula Krechel, and her well-deserved win.
Thank-you For Reading Gentle Reader
Take Care
And As Always
Stay Well Read
