  4. Literature Prize launches as $60,000 Folio Prize

    It's a big day for prize announcements: The Literature Prize announced its formation and sponsor Wednesday at a news conference at the British Library in London. The idea for the prize came into being when a group of British intellectuals took umbrage at the direction they saw the Booker Prize taking -- they saw it leaning toward popular fiction rather than literary fiction.

  7. Author not tired of 'Sleep'

    Clement Clarke Moore is said to have died bitter that he would be remembered for "The Night Before Christmas," and not his massive scholarly works on religion and the classics. By contrast, Adam Mansbach is delighted to be risking a similar fate.

  10. Nathan Englander examines identity

    Every journalist's nightmare is the interview with the subject who responds to questions with one-sentence (or even one-word) answers. Fortunately, the writer Nathan Englander &mdash; who was in Chicago recently as the inaugural Crown Speaker Series lecturer at Northwestern University's Crown Family Center for Jewish Studies &mdash; is apparently incapable of brevity. Ask him a question and he's off to the races, speaking quickly and comprehensively, each answer a complete essay in itself. A native of Long Island, N.Y., Englander grew up in an Orthodox Jewish community in Nassau County, and later lived for a time in Jerusalem. His Jewish background provides the setting for virtually all of his fiction, including the short-story collection "For the Relief of Unbearable Urges" (1999), the novel "The Ministry of Special Cases" (2007) and a second collection, "What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank," published this year. His play, "The Twenty-Seventh Man" &mdash; an adaptation of his own story about a group of Jewish writers imprisoned in Stalinist Russia &mdash; opened last month at the Public Theater in New York. Englander's translations have been published in "New American Haggadah" (2012), edited by Jonathan Safran Foer, and "Suddenly a Knock on the Door," a collection of short stories by Israeli writer Etgar Keret.
