The book won the Dublin Literary Award recently.
Valeria Luiselli is pleased to have passed the libraries’ test with her first novel written directly in English, Lost Children Archive (Sound Desert), which received the Dublin Literary Award. The 100,000-euro ($122,000) award, sponsored by Dublin City Council, is the top monetary prize for a single novel published in English. The finalists are nominated by libraries around the world. “That really seems to me to be the most beautiful thing about this award,” Luiselli said in a recent interview with The Associated Press from New York, where she lives. “It is a prize that is not linked, like all other prizes, to the speed of the market, but to the speed of reading.”More Related News
