The shortlisted writers for the honors will be announced on 28 March and the winner will be announced on 25 May at the Dublin International Literature Festival.
The Dublin Literary Prize has been awarded since 1996. Both English-language writers and authors writing in other languages and translated into English are eligible to participate in the competition. The prize fund is worth 100,000 euros, making it the largest prize given for a work in the English-speaking world, commented Jeanette 45. Writers such as Orhan Pamuk, Michel Welbeck, Javier Marías and Herta Müller have won the prize.
