Arad Dabiri, born in Vienna in 1997, was awarded the Debut Prize worth €10,000 for his first novel, Drama (Septime Verlag, 2023), at the Austrian Book Prize 2023 ceremony. ‘Drama is drama: grand street theatre, a slapstick comedy about scene queens and big shots, about their sayings and the longings, fears and abysses hidden in those sayings. Dabiri plays with theatre as a form, from the overture to the final curtain – without making a big fuss about it,’ wrote the jury.
