The Danish author Theis Ørntoft receives this year's PO Enquist Prize. It has been awarded since 2004 to "a younger author on their way out into Europe".

Theis Ørntoft was born in 1984 and made his debut in 2009. He is awarded the prize for the novel "Jordisk", which was published in 2023.

The jury's motivation reads: "a realistic and cosmic narrative, a narrative about the immense crisis that we are in as a civilization, where both nature, humans, and history are severely affected. But it is at the same time a tribute to the earth, to the common, to ongoing life."

The PO Enquist Prize was established by Enquist's publisher on his seventieth birthday and is jointly awarded by Norstedts, the author's foreign publisher, and Book & Library. The prize amount is 5,000 euros.

The prize ceremony will take place during the Book Fair in Gothenburg on September 28.
