Profile of a playwright : Albert M. Cassola

Abstract

This Magazine is not very much concerned with the purely literary aspect of things. So that even if Albert M. Cassola's short stories have been adjudicated as the best of all whenever he entered for a competition - and that was about eight times -we cannot deal with his success as a writer. Nor do we intend to dwell on the fact that he won first prize both for the short story and the poetry contests of the famous Pronostiku Malti for the same year. Indeed, we think no other local writer ever won a prize or high commendation in every competition he took part in.
