The German Book Prize has propelled Shida Bazyar’s novel “Die Lücken” to the top of the hardcover fiction charts, according to sales data from KiWi.
KiWi confirmed that a complete re‑print of the title will be ready for distribution by the end of the week to meet the surge in demand.
The achievement marks the publisher’s second simultaneous number‑one bestseller, as another title by Bau‑Influencer Cindy‑Adriana Speich also secured a leading position after a successful launch.
Industry observers note that the prize’s influence continues to drive significant sales spikes for winning titles, reinforcing the award’s role in shaping the German literary market.
