Faik Konica

Faik bej Konica, later Faik Dominik Konica, (15 March 1875 – 15 December 1942), was an important figure of Albanian language and culture in the early decades of the twentieth century. Prewar Albanian minister to Washington, his literary review "Albania" became the focal publication of Albanian writers living abroad. Faik Konica wrote little in the way of literature, but as a stylist, critic, publicist and political figure he had a tremendous impact on Albanian writing and on Albanian culture at the time.
