Marjana Gaponenko is awarded the 2013 Adelbert von Chamisso Prize, valued at 15,000 euros. According to the jury, Gaponenko's latest novel "Wer ist Martha?" has enriched contemporary German prose in a linguistically new and exciting way. And this year’s Promotional Prizes, valued at 7,000 euros each, go to Matthias Nawrat for his novel "Wir zwei allein", and Anila Wilms for his German-language debut "Das albanische Öl oder Mord auf der Straße des Nordens".
