Who sent the secret letters for Kadare's "Nobel"? The Swedish writer gives a strong message: Don't die without reading it

The Swedish writer Kajsa Ekis Ekman, invited to "Zone Zero" in Top Neës, spoke about the colossus of Albanian letters, Ismail Kadaren, who passed away on July 1.

She describes Kadare as one of the greatest writers in the world, who has several good books and that he deserved the Nobel Prize, for which the writer has been nominated several times.

"Those who have received the Nobel Prize are poor writers, they may have written 1 to 3 good books, while Ismail Kadare has written so many books that he is classified among the greatest writers. Every year I wished that he would receive the award and now it can't happen anymore, that's why I also found the title for the article 'don't die without reading Ismail Kadare. He died without receiving the award, but don't die without reading it", said Kajsa Ekis Ekman.

In relation to the letters sent, which characterized Kadare as a collaborator of the communist regime or a courtier of Enver Hoxha, Ekam says that literature should no longer mix with politics and that it has happened to other writers as well.

"I heard these words and I spoke with a member of the Swedish academy and I asked him if it was true, he told me that he had not heard of such a thing, but the academy was not affected because they constantly wrote letters to others, not only for Kadare", said the writer.
