Peter Terrin wins Ako literature prize

Post Portem by the Flemish novelist Peter Terrin is the winner of this year’s Ako literature prize, which includes a cheque for €50,000.


According to Terrin, the book is about the love for writing and for a child. The Hague mayor Jozias van Aartsen, who presented the prize, said it is ‘a magisterial reflection of literature’.
