Belarusian writer competes for Angelus award

Adam Klakocki I jego cienie, a book by Belarusian writer Ihar Babkou, is among 14 books competing for the Angelus Central European Literature Award.
Angelus is the most important award in the field of creative prose translated into the Polish language.

 
The award is presented on an annual basis to writers from Central Europe whose works undertake themes most relevant to the present day, encourage reflection and deepen the world's knowledge of other cultures.

 

It is directly connected with Wroclaw as a city of intercultural dialogue, as it is the place where people of various nations and cultures have always been coexisting.

 

The top seven books will be selected on October 20 and the award presentation ceremony is scheduled for December 5. The winner will be given a money prize of about $50,000.
