Paldies par šo rakstu. Thank you for this piece. I'm 48, and have published four books, to this point. But when I was 23 -- and my agent at the time sent around my post-Fulbright, nonfiction book proposal about Latvia -- one mainstream publisher said that "Eastern Europe was too much of a marketing hurdle" for publication. Just one of the many difficulties faced by Latvian writers trying to break into print in America. It's a too long story for the comment section. But thank you, Dalkey Archive, for brining our literature out to a broader audience, and putting together this small historical summary. Mēs esam gan varena tauta!
