Neustadt International Prize for Literature jurors

       The Nobel Prize in Literature is in a league of its own as far as international author-prizes go, but in the tier below that the biennial Neustadt International Prize for Literature is one of the few that has really made its mark (unlike, say, the Man Booker International Prize, which is still on a somewhat wobbly footing). They've now announced the jurors for the 2014 prize -- significant, since the way this prize works is that each juror names a candidate for the prize -- making for nine shortlisted authors (to be announced mid-July) -- and they then all get together and debate and select a winner from among the nine.
       This has worked out pretty well in the past, and it'll be interesting to see what happens this time around.
