The jury can bestow the prize on any writer from Luxembourg, regardless of genre or language. The five books that were shortlisted for this year’s prize are the following:
Samuel Hamen’s V wéi vreckt, W wéi Vitess.
Guy Helminger’s Die Tagebücher der Tannen.
Jeff Schinker’s Sabotage.
Lambert Schlechter’s Une mite sous la semelle du Titien.
Elise Schmit’s Stürze aus unterschiedlichen Fallhöhen.
In a press release, Luxembourg’s national literature centre wrote that jury hopes that the short-list reflects “the diversity and the quality of literary production in Luxembourg.”
The laureate of the prize will be announced towards the end of April.
