Awarding the prize to Pamuk was "the best decision the Nobel
Prize committee has taken for years," opined Germany's
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung the same day, likening it to 1970's
Nobel Prize to the Soviet dissident author Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Brodsky became the fourth Russian to win the Nobel Prize for
literature (Ivan Bunin received it in 1933, while in exile; Boris
Pasternak was awarded it in 1958, but was forced by the Soviet State to
decline the honor; Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn received it in 1970, but
declined to travel to Stockholm, for fear he would not be allowed to
return--in any event, he was forcibly exiled in 1974, and stripped of
his citizenship). I was dismayed to read Cathy Young's unbelievably shoddy
account of the writings of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn ("Traditional
Prejudices," May). |
