Melinda Nadj Abonji Takes Swiss Book Prize Too

The winner of this year's German Book Prize, Melinda Nadj Abonji, has won the Swiss Book Prize as well for Tauben fliegen auf (see my review below). She also took the audience vote with 39%.

Great news for her and her publishers, the Austrian indie Jung & Jung. I wonder if this hail of awards means the novel will make it into English?

I can only hope so. I'll press my thumb and keep my fingers crossed. I'm anxious to read it and I won't be getting back to Germany any time soon.
