The MacArthur Foundation has announced the winners of its award this year. They are called fellows. This time around, there are twenty-one of them. Their fields of endeavor vary widely, as ever. Mathematicians, poets, playwrights, physicists, lawyers, historians, and so on, they will be handsomely rewarded for their creativity. Nay, genius. But one thing about the annual award that keeps bugging me, and bugs me ever more, is that the fellows are from America only. What about creative people around the globe? There must be many times more of them than in America alone, and many of them need resources much more than their American comrades. Although the foundation ostensibly supports organizations in a number of countries, its fellowships do not go abroad. Ever. But why? The foundation’s website does not offer any answer to this pertinent question. As I complained already, and not so long ago, I feel kind of slighted one more time (“Kind of Slighted: A Letter to the MacArthur Foundation,” September 25, 2013). Shall I have to move back to America in my dotage to become a MacArthur fellow at long last?
