Macon's Locally Owned CREST LAWN Funeral Homes HART'S Literary critic Balakian dies The New York Times NEW YORK Nona Balakian, a literary critic, essayist and a former editor on the staff of The New York Times Sunday Book Review, died Saturday at her home in Manhattan. She was 72.
She apparently had a heart attack after a fall, her sister, Anna Nalbantian, said. An authority on 20th-century European and American literature, Balakian encouraged such authors as Eudora Welty, Anais Nin, Joyce Carol Oates, Carson McCullers, Reynolds Price, Kurt Vonnegut and others to do work for The Times Sunday Book Review. She also wrote many reviews, review essays and interviews for the Sunday and daily book-review sections of The Times and for literary publications, as well as lecturing on literary topics at a number of universities. She was coauthor, with Charles Simmons, of The Creative Present (Doubleday, 1969), a collection of essays on contemporary American fiction. Critical Encounters (Bobbs-Merrill), a gathering of her own essays, was published in 1978.
A second edition of the book is now in preparation. At her death, she was working on a critical study of William Saroyan, for which she had received a Rockefeller Foundation Humanities Award. Balakian was active in authors' organizations, among them PEN and the Authors Guild. She was a founding member and first secretary of the National Book Critics Circle and she had served on the Pulitzer Prize committees for non-fiction and poetry. Born i in Constantinople, Balakian came to New York as a child.
She graduated from Barnard College and received a master's degree from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in 1943. She joined the staff of The Times Book Review that year and remained a staff member for 43 years, until she retired in 1987. After that, she continued her affiliation with The Times as a literary consultant. In addition to her sister, Balakian is survived by six nieces and nephews. Gaullist official Joxe, 89, dies The New York Times Louis Joxe, a veteran public servant and senior Gaullist official credited with negotiating Algeria's independence from France, died Saturday in Paris.
He was 89. Joxe's place in history was assured by success of the talks at Evian-les-Bains in 1962 and the republic's survival of a military putsch and colonist revolt in strife torn Algeria. His decisions in France's next great crisis, the student uprising and labor unrest of 1968, drove him from the Ministry of Justice. A former history teacher, Joxe turned to government service and diplomacy in 1932. as a member of the French delegation to the League of Nations.
Mobilized during World War II, he fled the Germans to Algeria in 1940 and joined the Resistance. He taught for some time in Algiers, but the Vichy government, suspecting his allegiance to Gen. Charles de Gaulle's Free French, banished him to the countryside. Toward the end of the war, Joxe served as secretary general of the Committee for National Liberation. After the German retreat and the general's triumphant entry into Paris, Joxe's rise in government quickened.
He handled cultural affairs in the Foreign Ministry before being sent to Moscow as ambassador in 1952. He held the same post in Bonn before returning to Paris as secretary general in the Foreign Office. In 1959, with de Gaulle presiding over France's Fifth Republic, Joxe became secretary general in the prime minister's office. Joxe was known as a witty and sometimes wily negotiator who could escape into vagueness when that seemed the preferable approach to a problem. Silverhaired and ruddy-faced, he also had a reputation as a raconteur and the ability to show good humor as well as a stiff spine.
