The Pegasus Prize for Literature is a literary prize established by the Mobil Corporation (now Exxon Mobil) in 1977 to honor works from countries whose literature is rarely translated into English. The prize includes a monetary award, a medal depicting Pegasus, and translation into English and subsequent publication of the work by Louisiana State University Press. The country is first recommended by a committee and then an independent selection committee in the chosen nation determines the winner.〔"Publisher's Note", p. vii in ''Year of the Frog'' by Martin Simecka (LSU Press, 1993).〕 Representatives to the country selection committee have included Mona Simpson, Alan Cheuse, and William Jay Smith. ==Winners of the Pegasus Prize== * 1979 - Kirsten Thorup for ''Baby'' * 1983 - Cees Nooteboom for ''Rituals'' * 1985 - Keri Hulme for ''The Bone People''〔Roger Robinson and Nelson Wattie, eds.
