Default Re: Nobel Prize in Literature 2009 Speculation

Yes, elsewhere.

To get back to the topic.Yes it's interesting to propose a journalist.

Eco should not get it as a writer of fiction but as a nonfiction writer. As much as I want a poet to get it, I also want a nonfiction writer to walk away with the prize. Magris, though he writes fiction, too, could get it for his largely essayistic books on teh Danube etc. He sounds as if he was made for the Nobel, really.
