Ariane Koch, Deniz Utlu and Dana Vowinckel have made the longlist for the »Text & Sprache« prize 2024. Koch has been nominated for her play Kranke Hunde (Sick Dogs). The piece premiered in January and will be published in the Suhrkamp Theater series in autumn. Utlu has received the nomination for his novel Father's Sea, while Vowinckel made the list for her debut novel, The World in a Ziplock Bag.
The »Text & Sprache« prize was first awarded in 1953 by the Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft, honouring »young, outstanding voices in contemporary literature«. This year, the jury, chaired by Dr Marcella Prior-Callwey, has nominated 10 authors of novels, plays, or short stories.
The award comes with a cash prize of €20,000, and aims to support authors and playwrights through collaborations with theatres and other partners. In March, the jury will announce the shortlist.
