Nobel Prizes in Literature 2019 Speculation

[Bartleby]

By the way, Unibet odds went down a few hours ago. Not a lot of movement either.
Hard speculation days without the WLF and Ladbrokes list.

Yeah... It's been quite sad without you guys...

 

[Ludus]

My cat is thrilled that someone is giving her attention this early...

 

[CapreseBoi]

Glad it's back just in time!! Im diggin the new look Miss WLF Hopin for the other one to go to Anne Carson ahhh

 

[Ludus]

Yeah... It's been quite sad without you guys...

I know, right? You get used to check on the forum everyday and then it's gone, but you get to value how awesome it is to get to talk to huge nerds like you all over the world.

I was thinking we're so similar to the Svenska Akademien. Barely any woman commenting with us lately ?

Don't assume my gender, Dan.

 

[Ludus]

Almost there!

 

[meepmurp]

Y'all. I'm a longtime-listener-first-time caller-type and will probably never post anything again but I have to say not getting the chance to follow along with your debates this last week or so was TORTURE. All I was left with was the extreme bitterness of that Complete Review guy...

 

[Daniel del Real]

There were some conspiracy theories stated at the woods, telling the Swedish Academi shut us down as we were getting closer to the real core of their decisions: The Nobel Library ?

 

[Stewart]

A reminded that once the prizes are announced this thread will close as the speculation is over.

I'll create two separate threads - one for 2018, one for 2019 - so give me a minute to catch up and get those threads created and the citations logged.

 

[Bartleby]

Oh, and I ran across this group on goodreads in which a guy was cheering we went down. Saying we'd have an aneurysm after what Olsson said about the prize now focusing on non-Europeans and women more.
What a dumbass...

I was tempted to think that at some moment, but it was just a mental fart out of pure frustration ?

 

[redhead]

Glad I decided to check the forum before the announcement. I missed you all!

 

[Cleanthess]

A political activist? Afrikaans winner? Breyten Breytenbach maybe?

 

[Bartleby]

A political activist? Afrikaans winner? Breyten Breytenbach maybe?

That’d generate a genuine Who? Moment.
I mean, I dont even know this writer...

 

[Daniel del Real]

Well, see you back in a couple of minutes. Hoping for the best.

 

[redhead]

A political activist? Afrikaans winner? Breyten Breytenbach maybe?

That would certainly be unexpected, but I'd welcome it in that it would shine a light on someone previously unknown to me

 

[Bartleby]

And heeeere weee go!

 

[redhead]

Here we go!

 

[Daniel del Real]

Wow Handke!
