From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kassel Literary Prize for Grotesque Humor (Kasseler Literaturpreis für grotesken Humor), established 1985, is an annual prize awarded by the Stiftung Brückner-Kühner foundation in recognition of "grotesque and comic work" at a high artistic level. It is also given to literary professors whose work is connected to this theme. The prize is endowed with 10,000 euros.
