Jan de Leeuw nominated for the Jugendliteraturpreis
Jan de Leeuw's Bevroren kamers (Frozen Rooms) has been nominated for the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis 2011. Rolf Erdorf translated the title as Schrödinger, Dr. Linda und eine Leiche im Kühlhaus. De Leeuw won praise from the jury for his style, which was described as 'light hearted and, at the same time, tragicomic'. Also, 'The reader experiences the chaotic feelings of mourning, caring, amorousness and despair from inside as well as from a distance: a complete panoramic view'.
