Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award

...goes to Haruki Murakami for Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman. The award money amounts to €35,000 and will be shared between Murakami and his translators, Philip Gabriel & Jay Rubin.

I shamefully confess that I have not yet read any Murakami, though I'm told that if I should only have the opportunity to read one of his books before I die, I should read The Elephant Vanishes.
