Date: Fri, 5 Jun 1998 15:23:24 -0500 From: Clarisse Zimra <czimra-AT-siu.edu> Subject: Re: Nuruddin dear friends, on the subject of Nuruddin Farah, who is indeed a HE, and excision-critical works. He's just received the prestigious Neustadt Prize from the U. Oklahoma (40 thousand dollars for best foreign writer in English language or translation, a sterling silver eagle feather, much fanfare, feasting and celebration AND a special issue of World Lit. Today soon to come to a library near yours). He's spending the year in Nigeria. Since the last 19 Neustadt (such as Octavio Paz, Assia Djebar, Derek Walcott) have also become Noble Laureates, let's keep hoping. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. cz Clarisse Zimra English and Comparative Studies Member, The Faculty Seminar for Irish and Migration Studies Southern Illinois Univ. at Carbondale 62901-4503 phone messages: 618 453 53 21 (main English office) private line: 618 453 68 13 fax 618 453 32 53 --- from list postcolonial-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
