Ismail Kadare
(b.1936 in Gjirokastėr, Albania) is a world-renowned writer. Just before the fall of communism in Albania in 1990, Kadare fled to France. He now divides his time between France and Albania. He has been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature and in 2005 he won the inaugural Booker International Prize. His first novel, The General of the Dead Army, was published in 1963 and has since been published in more than 40 countries.
Kadare's works include The Palace of Dreams (1981); The Concert (1998); and The Successor (2005).
