By: Roberta Silman Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: Death by Water, Grove-Press, Japanese fiction, Kenzaburo Oe, nobel-prize-for-literature, translation

Book Commentary: Patrick Modiano — An Oddly Elliptical Choice for the Nobel Prize for Literature

Patrick Modiano’s simple sentences pull one in; the nostalgia of loss and pain of youth and the hunt for a vague, romantic Other are easy to relate to.

Poetry Review: Nobel Laureate Tomas Tranströmer’s Divided Self

By: Daniel Bosch Filed Under: Books, Featured, World Books Tagged: Nobel laureate, nobel-prize-for-literature, Poetry, The Deleted World, Tomas Tranströmer, translation

By: Harvey Blume Filed Under: Books, Featured Tagged: Books, Doris-Lessing, nobel-prize-for-literature, Short Fuse, the-golden-notebook
