INDEPENDENT FOREIGN FICTION PRIZE

 

The Independent Foreign Fiction Prize 2008 has been awarded to the Belgian author Paul Verhaeghen for his novel Omega Minor. Verhaeghen is the first author to have both written and translated the winning title and has therefore won the full £10,000 prize for his work translated from Dutch into English. However, he's opted to donate his winnings to the American Civil Liberties Union in protest of US foreign policy. Find out more.
