They explained: "In Elke Laznia's 'Fishbone Days', a very fundamental rebellion against the finiteness of life is realized. This rebellion also characterizes the literature of Helena Adler."
As part of the award ceremony at the Literaturhaus, prizewinner Elke Laznia read from a text with 7777 characters written especially for the award ceremony. Excerpts from the prize-winning work were also included. Laznia also read out a few passages from her winning book. Her daughter Miriam Laznia accompanied her on the piano.
The "Helena Adler Prize" was created in 2024 based on an idea by Salzburg House of Literature director Tomas Friedmann with the support of artist and Adler estate administrator Thomas Stadler.
