Weltempfänger / LitProm

Four times a year – in spring, summer, autumn and winter – Litprom publishes a list of the respective season’s seven best literary titles from Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Arab World. The list is called “Weltempfänger” (“world receiver”, a radio of sorts) since special technology makes it possible to broadcast radio stations all over the world. Indeed, that is essentially what the jury – composed of journalists and media professionals as well as writers – of this “best of” list does: send out and receive the world’s best literature around the globe.
