Kathrin Schmidt wins 2009 German Book Prize

Schmidt's novel DU STIRBST NICHT voted as best German novel for 2009

Kathrin Schmidt won the 2009 German Book Prize for her novel Du Stirbst Nicht (Kiepenheuer & Witch), which the judges praised for being "positioned both unobtrusively and with great skill in the echo chamber of the historical-political era of change."

English language rights for Du Stirbst Nicht are being handled by Iris Brandt/Kiepenheuer & Witsch and her US representative Markus Hoffmann.

The shortlist included recently named Nobel laureate Herta Mueller, as well as Rainer Merkel, Norbert Scheuer, Clemens J. Setz and Stephan Thome.
