In 1995, Robert Gernhardt listed 13 avenues to fame as paths to artistic immortality in his eponymous book. Since 2009, a 14th avenue must be added to the list: winning the Robert-Gernhardt Prize! This year, Gila Lustiger did just that with the manuscript to her novel Die Entronnenen, which recalls the history of a displaced persons’ camp in the town of Zeilsheim and the Jewish community in Frankfurt after the Second World War – in a style that is “free of pathos and almost ironic”, as the jury noted.
