"What is literary reportage? What do we need? Do we need first-hand experience? Yes. Do we need literary writing? Of course. But we need also something that's different than everything else, a new creation, something that couldn't be done before, that can't be compared to anything else in the world."Mark Danner (jury member 2005)
