The Peruvian writer Daniel Alarcón won the new International Prize for Literature, award, created by the House of World Cultures in Berlin (HKW), for his novel “Radio Ciudad Perdida” (Lost City Radio), which was translated into German.
"We chose a book that was an urgent reading, something not exactly integrated with the tradition of European welfare, but with the current world conditions; and moreover, we wanted to see an exceptional linguistic work,” said Katharina Narbutovic, one of the members of the German jury,
"I'm happy, proud and thankful," said the young Peruvian writer, who received 25,000 euros (US $36,000) as part of the prize.
“Radio Ciudad Perdida” (2007) was chosen as the winner among 140 works translated into German, according to Peru21.com, and reportedly it explores the social, human and emotional impacts of war.
