Constantijn Huygens Prize for Arnon Grunberg

At the age of thirty-eight, Arnon Grunberg is the youngest winner of the Constantijn Huygens Prize, which is mostly awarded as an oeuvre prize toward the end of a literary career. However, it is indicative of the quality and versatility of his large body of work.

Moreover, Grunberg is extremely successful, which is shown by his high sales figures and the many other prestigious prizes that he has won. It is also shown by the many translations of his work that have appeared, in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, to name but a few.
