Nobel Prize in Literature 2020 Speculation

[Marba]

My guess is Anne Carson. In the Swedish Television live broadcast Anne Carson, Margaret Atwood and Nina Bouraoui have been mentioned this far.

Edit: And now Hilary Mantel.

Here I am. Thread will be closed on the announcement and a new thread to discuss the recipient will be created.

Some things never change...

The Guardian is still considering Joyce Carol Oates a possible contender. ?

The Guardian have definitely been reading us here (with the exception of JCO who, though I really enjoy her work, does not stand a chance, ever).

Don't close it please

More names thrown out in the live broadcast are Mircea Cartarescu and Louise Glück.

Guys, I'm so excited!! Can't hold this anymore...
Btw this year my favourites are Anne Carson, Ngugi Wa Thiong'o and Ismail Kadare. But why no one thought about Alice Walker in such a year?

Wow! Louise Gluck!

 

[Stewart]

With the announcement of Louise Glück as the 2020 Nobel laureate, this speculation thread is now over. Discussion of the choice continues here.
