Many of my creative urges are generated by anger. This was one of them. I rushed to the President, Zalman Shazar and told him, in Yiddish, that this was indecent, an outrage, provincial, etc. Shazar, it must be remembered, is a scholar in Yiddish, in Hebrew, in Russian, in German, etc. He is one of the most charming writers on the Jewish scene and the burden of the presidency has not obstructed the flow of his pen. I told him that I was prepared, on my own, to establish a Manger Prize for Yiddish Literature if he would accept the honorary chairmanship of the Committee.
