Jonathan Taylor writes:
My normally flatline sense of anticipation the Nobel Prize for Literature is a bit aroused this year, since I’m grateful, as an admittedly insular American, to have been introduced to J.M.G. Le Clézio last year.
The Nobel Committee has set dates for the announcement of the other prizes, beginning October 5. “According to tradition, the Swedish Academy will set the date for its announcement of the Nobel Prize in Literature later.” (It’s typically a Thursday.)
Anybody have an interesting line on this year’s possibilities? Or, better yet, flights of fancy on the glorious impossibilities?
