driver for its laureates. Their Foreign Rights sales are much higher than those
of other prize-winning books. This is due to the remarkable economic and
symbolic capital and especially the general publicity the German Book Prize
generates. The following article wants to show how these factors favour the

Franck’s novel Die Mittagsfrau.
