[He] is someone who has felt in a profound way the responsibility of words . . . His work eloquently and nobly defends tension, exertion, moral and amoral seriousness." --Susan Sontag, The New York Review of Books Canetti invites--indeed, compels--judgment. His exacting presence honors literature. --George Steiner, The New Yorker
Elias Canetti was born in 1905 into a Sephardi Jewish family in Ruse, Bulgaria. He moved to Vienna in 1924, where he became involved in literary circles while studying for a degree in chemistry. He remained in Vienna until the Anschluss, when he emigrated to England and later to Switzerland, where he died in 1994. In 1981, Canetti was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for "writings marked by a broad outlook, a wealth of ideas, and artistic power." Joshua Cohen is the author of six novels, including Witz, Book of Numbers, and, most recently, The Netanyahus, which won the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the 2021 National Jewish Book Award for Fiction. His writing has appeared in Harper's Magazine, the London Review of Books, n+1, and the Paris Review, among other publications. Called a major American writer by the New York Times, and an extraordinary prose stylist, surely one of the most prodigious at work in American fiction today by the New Yorker, Cohen was awarded Israel's 2013 Matanel Prize for Jewish Writers, and in 2017 was named one of Granta's Best Young American Novelists. He lives in New York City.
