Publishers Lunch
Israeli author, storyteller and filmmaker Etgar Keret has won the $100,000 Charles Bronfman
Prize "in recognition of his work conveying Jewish values across cultures
and imparting a humanitarian vision throughout the world."
Harvard professor and author Stephen Greenblatt has won Norway's $540,000 Holgberg
Prize for outstanding contributions to research in the arts and humanities,
social sciences, law or theology.
Though a reward rather than a prize, in tracking where all the money from the
hit musical Hamilton goes, the NYT notes
that author Ron
Chernow -- whose book inspired the show and who also serves as
historical consultant to the production -- gets a 1 percent royalty on the
show's adjusted gross, "currently about $900,000 a year."
