учить албанский!

Итак, лауреатом первого международного Букера
стал албанский писатель Исмаил Кадаре.

Я, конечно, роман Пастернака не читал языка Скандербега и Энвера Ходжи не знаю, о существовании писателя Исмаила Кадаре узнал только что, но что-то отвратительное подсказывает мне, что политический беженец Кадаре вознаграждён исключительно за своё тяжёлое прошлое и актуальное происхождение. Познакомьтесь, френды дорогие, с теми, кого Кадаре победил в бескомпромиссной борьбе:

Margaret Atwood (Born and lives in Canada)
Saul Bellow (Born Canada, lived USA)
Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Born Colombia, lives in various places)
Gunter Grass (Born and lives in Germany)
Milan Kundera (Born in Czech Republic and lives in France)
Stanislaw Lem (Born and lives in Poland)
Doris Lessing (Born Persia, lives in UK)
Ian McEwan (Born and lives in UK)
Naguib Mahfouz (Born and lives in Egypt)
Tomas Eloy Martinez (Born in Argentina, lives in USA)
Kenzaburo Oe (Born and lives in Japan)
Cynthia Ozick (Born and lives in USA)
Philip Roth (Born and lives in USA)
Muriel Spark (Born in Scotland, lives in Italy)
Antonio Tabucchi (Born and lives in Italy)
John Updike (Born and lives in USA)
A.B. Yehoshua (Born and lives in Israel)

Учим албанский! Кадаре за свои писательские заслуги получит 60000 фунтов
