In 2005 the first Man Booker International Prize was awarded to Albanian poet and writer Ismail Kadare. In Kadare’s novel “The Ghost Rider” an old woman is awoken in the dead of night to find her daughter Doruntine standing at her front door. The daughter claims she was brought home by her brother Konstandin. But unbeknownst to her, Konstandin has been dead for years. Who is this mysterious ghost rider?
The Financial Times called Kadare “…a great writer, by any nation’s standards.”
