| Abstract | "For the last fifty years, The Neustadt Prize has been one of the most prestigious literary prizes in the world, second only to the Nobel. Poets, novelists, and playwrights from Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Orhan Pamuk to Czeslaw Milosz and Dubravka Ugresic are listed among the ranks of laureate. Now, in honor of the fiftieth anniversary, Dispatches from the Republic of Letters gathers the acceptance speeches of these twenty-five pioneering writers into one volume, edited and with an introduction by World Literature Today editor-in-chief Daniel Simon. This book is coming out in conjunction with the fiftieth anniversary, and with the reception event for the 25th Neustadt Prize (for Albanian novelist, poet, and playwright Ismail Kadare). In addition, this book includes original illustrated portraits of each prizewinning author at the beginning of each chapter"-- Provided by publisher. |
