It has a long ways to go to recover from being awarded to Dylan. Ishiguro was a good start at rehabilitation, but no prize in 2018 is not helpful.

Ishiguro is literally the worst choice of the last 30 years. He's garbage.

Well yes. This is the problem when the supposed 'greatest' literature award is given by a country of one of the most boring, artistically destitute races of Europe. Like how about Italy? France? No, Sweden. The country that gave us great works of art like ... and ... not to mention the excellent .... I really love that ....

"complete trash" would surprise me. I've only read one of his short stories, "A Village After Dark". It was great.

What have you read by him that is trash?

I cannot intelligently comment on the prize, except to say that it is certainly "more legitimate" in the sense of being less stupid, than the nakedly sham Peace Prize, which has been awarded to Arafat, Kissinger, and various heads of state who through the very facts of their offices are required to facilitate murder on a constant basis, and this goes for all states themselves, and their representatives.. The more I learn of the prize, the more I know that it is a hypocritical sham (Obama! Carter!)

also I read The Dwarf once in high school and found it boring.
