Swiss author Kim de l’Horizon became the first non-binary person to win the German book price for their book “Blutbuch” this year.

Unfortunately this also lead to queerphobic attacks on social media and one-star-reviews on Amazon, so their publisher had to hire a security service to protect them for the rest of the Frankfurt Book Fair.
