Per Petterson's speech upon winning the 12th Annual International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award for his book 'Out Stealing Horses. The book was translated into English by Anne Born and was published by Harvill Secker. The award ceremony was held at Dublin City Hall on 14 June 2007.

"Out Stealing Horses is a magical novel that captivates the reader.
It records the changing and ever elusive dance of time through the voice of sixty-seven year old Trond Sander, as he recalls his young adulthood against the shadowy aftermath of world war two, and the shock of certain life-defining experiences. Set in the remote Norwegian landscape of spectacular lakes and forests, Per Petterson's stunning novel is brought to us, in impeccable English, by translator Anne Born." (Judges' citation)

The award is the world's largest literary prize for a single work of fiction published in English. It involves libraries from all corners of the globe, and is open to books written in any language. The Award is administered by Dublin City Public Libraries.
