Readers of this list may be interested to know that Charles Rosen has been
awarded the annual Truman Capote Award for Literary Criticism in Memory of
Newton Arvin for his book "Romantic Poets, Critics, and Other Madmen". The
award, which is administered by the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop,
is $50,000 -- the largest annual cash prize for literary criticism

(p.s. Mr. Rosen, who was here a few years ago recording a CD in our small
recital hall on campus, is going to play some kind of free informal recital
as part of the award festivities. If anyone is in this area and is
interested, the reception forthe Capote award will be April 15 in the Old
Capitol Senate Chamber, and the recital will be at 6 p.m. the same day in
Harper Hall of the Music Building.)
