Description
The book by a professor of English literature at the University of Pennsylvania deals with the emergence, history, and functioning of literary and film awards, as well as everything that happens around them. It describes how awards and their presentation have established a kind of "game" that relies on the favorable reception or outrage they provoke among critics and nominees. The author tracks statistical data on the growth of published books and the emergence of new awards. The Czech translation will be supplemented by a study reflecting on Czech literary awards and their history. New York Magazine declared J. F. Englishe's publication the best academic book of 2005.
