Next stop Nobel Prize in Literature. There are around 1,000 literary prizes in German-speaking countries and at the age of 43, Clemens J. Setz feels like he has already won all of them, at least the well-known ones. A highlight was the Georg Büchner Prize 2021 at an almost outrageously tender age. Now comes the Great Austrian State Prize, the highest artistic award in the republic. Only one of these is awarded per year.
