Re: Nobel Prize in Literature 2009 Speculation
I'm guessing non-European this year. There was a lot of talk about Le Clezio, a cosmopolitan of sorts, being "a bridge out of Europe" and all that. So I'm gonna continue with last year's suggestion and say Ngugi wa Thiong'o. (Which should also keep the conservatives happy, since they can point to him and say "See? Another filthy commie!")
