Well, Ladbrokes list is back online folks, and guess who's on top?

Well, that still would be better than Saadawi.

 

[Bagharu]

So Nawal El Saadawi. Once again.

After 2016, I won't be surprised if they award it to two writers and break the youngest and oldest nobel laureate records, one stone, two birds, greatest stunt ever

 

[Daniel del Real]

Well, that still would be better than Saadawi.

I still refuse to see it as a reality after Munro's award 4 years ago.
Also it would be back to back English "authors".

Yeah, that's been a long time since that happened, but it did happen, three in a row, in the times of TS Eliot

And also Gordimer, Walcott, Morrison was three in a row English language writers

Shortest moronic phrase they think looks brilliant when awarding the Prize.

Oh yeah, I ended up figuring it and edited my post

so the works of which writer can be so shortly sumarized?

P.S.:your mood is showing, ahahahahahahahahah

 

[Uemarasan]

Lessing - feminist, Kipling - British colony, Munro - Canadian, Karlfeldt - poetry.

It's Atwood.

I hope not.

What about Anne Carson?

Yeah, I'm not a morning person plus everything is leading to a huge disappointment once again.

It's interesting to check out Atwoods twitter during following 40 minutes.

 

[peter_d]

Looks like Atwood indeed. It would at least be a conventional choice. Still I'm hoping for Ndiaye.

 

[Uemarasan]

What about Anne Carson?

God, I hope so. Anne Carson would be infinitely more deserving.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it was fun discussing, speculating and arguing with you this year. Hope the seasonal members stay here even after the announcement and contribute to the forum just as much as in the last two months.

 

[Tony_Malone]

A tweet just popped up with a link to Javier Marías' blog, in which there are links to lots of articles about the Nobel Prize. Probably nothing, but cleverly timed for half an hour before the announcement

 

[Marba]

Half an hour left now. Danius is probably on the phone to try to reach the laureate. Still hope it will be ALA but the "clues" don't seem to point in that direction...
