“The European Union P rize for Literature draws international attention to fantastic new or emerging authors, who might otherwise not gain the recognition they deserve outside their home country. As well as helping these writers to reach new audiences, our aim is to introduce readers to great new European literature and offer them more choice.” – Commissioner Androulla Vassiliou,
European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth.
