Nobel Prize in Literature 2023 Speculation

[Morbid Swither]

Here are my picks:

1) Péter Nádas;
2) Can Xue;
3) Jon Fosse;
4) László Krasznahorkai;
5) Mircea Cărtărescu

Dark Horse: Raúl Zurita

This is pretty close to what I’m speculating for this year as well. But my wildcard is Alexis Wright or Joy Harjo.

 

[Hamishe22]

About Alex Shephard: he used to get Mahmoud Dowlatabadi's name wrong every year, calling him Mohammad Dowlatabadi, and I think he got it correct only once before not writing another article again.

Yes, I don't think we're influencing the Academy itself! Although I wouldn't be surprised if the discourse itself had some kind of influence in respect of which authors the Academy considered comparing their shortlists against...

 

[Dante]

Wildcard: Raúl Zurita

Forgot about it! Mine's Rushdie.

Indeed. We are part of the feedback loop... That doesn't mean we're churning complete nonsense: pretty sure that "Ljudmila Ulitskaja" popping up for a few years now is the remnant of a leaked Swedish shortlist, and we had some success triangulating names with the library data before it was shut down. But I don't think we're influencing the SA itself, merely the speculation discourse.

It's weird to think about, but you're probably right, we probably have a bigger impact than we realize

#1 Jon Fosse;
#2 Can Xue;
# László Krasznahorkai;
#4 Gerald Murnane;
#5 Ismail Kadaré;
#6 Mircea Cărtărescu

I choose to believe my shitposts helped put Can Xue and Fosse in first and second, if for no other reason than it would be funny

 

[Leseratte]

A bit different speculation from Gemany with 4 favorites, 3 from them women:

Chimamanda
Rushdie
Atwood
Rowling

Wer bekommt den Literaturnobelpreis 2023? Der jüngst attackierte Salman Rushdie? Zwei Autorinnen hätten ihn ebenfalls unbedingt verdient.

Since Jon Kalman Stefansson's name hasn't appeared on any lists, I appear to have swayed no one. ?

If this is a small consolation: I 'm reading The Sorrow of Angels together with Frontiers by Can Xue and I am enjoying it!

437 books? LOL!!!

 

[Leseratte]

Haruki MURAKAMI? ?

For me, Paulo Coelho.

 

[namelesshere]

Ok, here's who I think MAY win:

- Jon Fosse
- Hwang Sok-yong
- Yan Lianke
- Peter Nadas
- Salim Barakat

Here's who I think probably won't win:

- Mircea Cartarescu
- Laszlo Krasznahorkai
- Can Xue
- Lyudmilla Ulitskaya

Much as I want Gerald Murnane to come up trumps, I would have to put him on the second list also.

 

[Verkhovensky]

After reading Morning and Evening, and also a really nice interview with him when that book was recently published in Croatia, I would love Fosse win.

About others:
I also think that Nadas is more likely than Krasznahorkai, since he is significantly older.
My wild card would be Ondaatje - similar to Ishiguro, a writer in English who is very famous and thus overlooked as a potential winner.
I expect them to keep the newfound "tradition" of male winners for odd years and female for even years, so I don't expect a woman.

 

[Daniel del Real]

I have a hunch it will go to Cartarescu this year, a shame because it would erase Blandiana's chances, a woman over 80 years old.

This is what I think could be the shortlist:

- Cartarescu
- Yan Lianke
- Fosse
- Can Xue
- Krasznahorkai

No love for poets in this modern and turbulent world
