Author Ismail Kadare is often touted as a strong and beloved potential recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature, and in 2005 he won the inaugural International Man Booker prize
Kadare's fiction offers invaluable insights into life under tyranny . . . But his books are of more than just political statement, they're fine writing by any language's standards
ARCs available five months ahead of pub date, especially targeted at indie stores who support literature in translation
From The Guardian: "Kadare is a writer who excels in the cataloguing of human errors and horrors, in a style and in forms that one might rightly describe as synthesised. Born in Albania, and having lived in Paris for many years, he is one of those rare writers of international reputation who has managed to avoid the pitfalls and indulgences of bland, postmodern, transcultural 'world literature'"
