I think it's twitter that's slightly aheadthe twitter and youtube feeds appear to be slightly out and i'm trying to work out which one is ahead...
Here I am. Thread will be closed on the announcement and a new thread to discuss the recipient will be created.
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).The Guardian is still considering Joyce Carol Oates a possible contender. ?
HM is my wild cardMy 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.
