Heinrich Mann Prize 2024 awarded to Lena Gorelik
Award Ceremony
The Heinrich Mann Prize 2024 goes to writer and essayist Lena Gorelik. From the jury’s statement: “The incorruptibility of her gaze, the transparent and stylistically refined weighing of arguments, a thoughtful tone that demands a stance without mere assertion, also feeds on the conviction that writing outside the present and its historical prior conditions is not possible.”
