Koja je ovo zajebancija ? Baba o kojoj se piše je Drakulićka, a ne Ugrešićka. Osim toga- agitprop za toga bapca treba skresati. Mir Harven 17:09, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Err, I might have mixed them up. IIRC they were both lambasted in the media in the early 1990s and subsequently emigrated, which is the likely reason of my confusion. --Joy [shallot]

I also rephrased the stuff that sounded biased to delineate awards from unclassified opinions. --Joy [shallot]

[edit] Croatian writer?

Would Ugresic appreciate being labelled a "Croatian writer"? This

The language I write was called until recently Serbo-Croat (or Serbian and Croatian), and it was the language spoken by Croats, Serbs, Bosnians and Montenegrins. Today people are trying to force me to recognise Croatian as my mother-tongue, and Serbian and Bosnian as - foreign languages!

is a quote from The Culture of Lies. OTOH, there'll presumably be a bunfight if we create a category Yugoslavian writers... -- Danny Yee 09:33, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Strega prize nomination: Something exceptional?

Could we have a reference for this please? Not at all because I am doubting the claim, but because our article on the Premio Strega—for which I am largely to blame—states that the prize is only open to Italian writers. It would be interesting to update that article appropriately. —Ian Spackman 14:40, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
