Nobody's Book Award - 2013




Dear Jan-Philipp Sendker-

Congratulations!  After careful evaluation of novels published last year, it is my privilege to inform you that The Art of Hearing Heartbeats has been selected for the 2013 Nobody's Book Prize! 

The Nobody’s Book Prize is reserved for the best under-the-radar book of the year. It means your novel was outstanding, and that the ratio of publicity to quality writing was grossly disproportionate.  Although the Nobody’s Book Prize is less prestigious than the National Book Award or the Man Booker Prize, it is no less earnest in its efforts to recognize a significant achievement in the craft of writing. 

The purpose of the Prize is simple—to increase awareness and promote reading of a remarkable piece of literature that has been largely unnoticed in the past year.  Although your book may have gone unseen last year, please be assured that in awarding this Prize, we are committed to the tireless promotion of The Art of Hearing Heartbeats. 

Congratulations, again on being the first-ever winner of the Nobody's Book Prize.  We wish you all the best and look forward to your future success.

Sincerely,
Nobody’s Book Prize Panel*

*This year’s judge is a spectacularly-popular blogger with a devoted readership of three.  She has relentlessly pestered other readers (and successfuly convinced her little sister) to read The Art of Hearing Heartbeats.
