The winner´s name is Jeschke. I think his novel really derserved it. Jeschke is a kind of grand master of science-fiction and he chosed the very controversial topic of religion in his novel “Dschiheads”. (The title is symbolic: The Dschihad, the “Holy war” in fact starts in our heads.) But anyway, I am happy to see this award announced here.
Thank you for correcting my misspelling of Jeschke. I remember seeing him at the 1990 Worldcon in The Hague — he was one of the guests of honor.
