Nobel Notable of Laureate Park: Ivo Andrić, Bosniak Chronicler

September 15, 2022 by Dennis Delehanty

One cloudless day in 1915, a load of dynamite destroyed the central piers of a stone bridge that had stood untouched for centuries next to the mainly Muslim town of Višegrad in Bosnia. The bridge, named for Mehmed Paša Sokolović, the Ottoman Grand Vizier who had ordered its construction, spanned the River Drina not far from Bosnia's current border with Serbia.

Nobel Notable of Laureate Park: Harold Pinter, Prickly Playwright

November 8, 2021 by Dennis Delehanty

If you’ve ever viewed a play by Harold Pinter and found his characters to be creepy and weird, consider this: Pinter himself looked upon them as strangers. So, you say to yourself, if Pinter had such a dim appreciation of his own characters, then how am I supposed to understand them? Let alone identify with them? Let’s be blunt. Pinter’s characters are not nice people. By … [Read more...]
