Biography
American poetess Louise Glitch for more than 50 years in creativity awarded a dozen awards, but the main top of the Nobel Prize in literature was conquered only in 2020."For an unmistakable poetic voice that owns an individual existence of universal," her victory is so substantiated.Childhood and youth
Louise Elizabeth Gluck was born in the "Big Apple" USA - New York on April 22, 1943. By nationality, she is American, although the parents inherited mixed blood. Her mother Beatris (in the greatness of Grosby) had Russian-Jewish origin, and Father Daniel Glitch was born in the family of Hungarian Jews.
The early period of the biography turned out to be a painful - poetess suffered from nervous anorexia. She found the reasons for this in toxic relationships with the mother and in the death of Susanna's older sister. The latter is probably tuned because the girl died back in 1941 - before the birth of the Nobel Prize laureate.
The disease has progressed, and in the graduation class George W. Hewlett High School Louise Glitch began treatment. After a few months I had to leave school, but she still received a diploma in 1961. About the period of life Celebrity wrote:
"I realized that at some point I would die. I knew more brightly and intuitively that I do not want to die. "Rehabilitation, which lasted 7 years, made significant adjustments to the life of poeses. Due to the unstable emotional state and obsessed follows, it was not able to obtain a higher education in a traditional way. Together, Louise Gluck took the lessons of poetry lessons at Sarah Lawrence College, and from 1963 to 1966 attended poetic seminars at Columbia University for a special program for "vulnerable" students.
Personal life
Mental instability did not interfere with the girl to build a personal life. In 1967, she married Charles Hertz - younger, a gastroenterologist's doctor. The debut marriage was unhappy and fall apart just a few months later.The next husband Louise Glitch became a little-known writer John Dranu. By the time of marriage in 1977, their family had already fastened the overall child. The only son of the poetess of Noah Dranu was born in 1973, in adulthood, he became a sommelier. In the 1990s and this marriage ended in divorce.
Poetry
In the youth, Louise Glitch desperately dreamed of children. But as a result of the Union with Charles, Hertz - the younger was only a poetic collection "Firstborn" (1968). Critics highly appreciated subtle and frank works, which, alas, provoked the second book syndrome. Any attempt by Louise write at least a line ended with hysteria.
It was possible to overcome the crisis only after 1971 - it was then that the laureate of the Nobel Prize began to teach Goddard in college. The poems that she wrote during the teaching period were in the collection "House on the Swamp" (1975). Now many literary crowns call this book of revolutionary, testifying to the emergence of recognizable Voisa Glitch.
As a rule, there should be a failure for high lifting. So it happened to the collection "Downward Figure" (1980). Critics saw on his pages the sudden hatred of the author to children. Special issues arose to the poem "recessed children". But, with the exception of this, the poetry of a woman remained at a decent level.
In the same 1980, the family of Louise Glyuk burned the house with all the property. Some poems, composed on the wave of despair, entered the collection "Celebration of Achilla" (1985). Critics say that it is thanks to the poetess who became among the most prominent authors of the United States of the 1980s.
The next collection "Ararat" (1990) also appeared as a response to tragic events - Louise Glyc lost his father. In the article for The New York Times, Dwight Garner called this book "the most stringent and sad example of American poetry published for the last 25 years."
The most famous compilation, which brought the Nobel Prize laureate to the world arena, is "Wild Iris" (1992). Poem is a conversation of flowers with a gardener and the highest forces about the nature of life. The book was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. It is also the only collection (among the entire Bibliography Louise Glitch), which was translated into Russian.
Having reached popularity, the poetess did not leave creativity. On the contrary, fed into the most fruitful period. In 1990 and 2000, she released 6 collections and the poem "October", dedicated to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2004.
Louise glitch now
The Nobel Prize in Literature is the most scandalous award. Not essentially, but due to the circumstances that accompany her presentation.In 2018, for example, the winner was not declared due to sex scandal around Jean-Claude Arno. The photographer was accused of 18 women in harassment. One of the episodes ended with imprisonment. Arno Catarina Frozentesson served for many years in the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences, whose members choose Nobel Prizes laureates. In order not to worry the public (then at the peak of popularity was Metoo's action), the woman was deprived of the right to vote.
In 2019, the laureate of the Nobel Prize Peter Handka was at the center of the scandal. Not creativity caused questions, and his political views. The writer adheres to the side of Serbia in the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s. Because of this, the presentation of the award boycotted a number of countries, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, Turkey, Albania. The result of the conflict was the resignation of one of the members of the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences, which forms a list of candidates for Nobel Prize.
On October 8, 2020, it became known that Louise Glyk became another Nobel laureate. This news either did not cost without discussion - however, at lower degrees. No one was fired and did not enter into prison. But some countries, including Russia, noted that among the candidates were more worthy. It is obviously talking about Lyudmila Ulitskaya, which also entered the short list.
Russian Writer Dmitry Bykov, for example, commented on the results of the Nobel Prize 2020: "
Louise glitch, probably a very good man. I have nothing against her award. It is simply very offensive that much more gifted contemporaries and compatriots remain there.Nevertheless, Louise Gluck stood up in one row with Herman Hessa, Ernest Hemingway, Joseph Brodsky and Kazuo Isiguro. It was she who took the award - 10 million Swedish crowns. It is noteworthy that the bookmakers of the poetess in possible winners did not appear, unlike the same Lyudmila street.
