 The Observer reports that "An unseemly row over some of the most illustrious names in world literature, including Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco, has broken out over who owns the rights to their work.The rights to publish the work of the writers on the 'Calder list', which once included more Nobel Prize-winning authors than any other in the history of books, are at the centre of a cross-Channel battle that has seen angry words flying between some of the most famous publishing houses in the business."
