Just prior to my trip to Amsterdam to publicise the Dutch release of SKIN, a harried courier arrived at my front door carrying a heavy package: inside were the two awards from Giffoni - the Amnesty Prize, and The Aluminium Griffon. I must confess, I hadn't been terribly impressed by the sound of the latter but was pleasantly surprised - the little statue is magnificent! And it's sitting on a solid block of black marble (hence the weary courier).
The only prize that hasn't somehow found its way to my address is the Jury Prize from Palm Beach - and no communication seems to rouse them. I will persist, though - there's bound to be something, even if it's just a piece of paper...!
