Expect something politically correct. The academy is ruined.

It is rather rare when someone gets a Nobel in literature without any social or political context. I know that Pasternak and Brodsky only got their Nobels because the first one was oppressed in USSR and the other one left the country fo US. Not being political is an exception, not a rule

Don't forget Kertész who only got it because he wrote a book about the Holocaust.

>Expect something politically correct.
Expect someone apolitical.
I'm sure they'll play safe until the political situation in the world cools down.

Not Borges

Paul Simon when?

[Anonymous No.13715432]

The first one will go to William T. Vollmann. His vast body of work covering war, violence, poverty, climate change, and the history of the Americas will finally get the recognition it deserves. The second one will go to Bruce Springsteen.

Didn't they give the Nobel to some terrible Boomer musician a few years ago? I really question how anyone can continue to give a shit about it.

Don't know who's gonna get them this year, but I know I'd be less rustled by it going to some random people of colour than to sellouts and nobelbait authors like Kertesz and Coetzee. I'm seeing this tendency with Olga Tokarczuk of Poland as well (they're already translating her Books of Jacob and she's supposedly writing a new one about Ukraine).

What type of books win this crap anyway? Are they looking for greatly entertaining books regardless of genre or subject matter or are they looking for subject matter like political stuff

[Anonymous No.13717150]

>>13715432
Yeah, too bad the books themselves suck.

[Anonymous No.13717153]

Dag Solstad might finally get it.

As a youth, my belief was that the Nobel was awarded to men and women who found means to push the written word and the capacity of its potential past what heretofore was widely thought its limitation. Now, at the grizzled age of 28, my best years behind me, I can only say that the Nobel seems to pick random fucking names out of hat and every once in a blue moon chooses well.

Eliese Colette Goldbach for her essay "White Horse"

It's common knowledge that the prize only goes to authors who are sufficiently left wing (look at the history of the prize and not a single conservative writer has ever won). that's why murakami hasn't gotten it yet. even though he hasn't done anything right wing, he hasn't been enough of a spokesman for the left. they want people who push their agenda: open borders, multiculturalism, socialism, feminism, miscgenation all the good stuff.

Inb4 Swedes use the price to appease Trump who will then go on twitter and depending on the political orientation of the laureate, congratulatr them and declare that yes od course he's read the wondedful books or use it to bash Democrats.

They should have someone leak that The Art of the Deal is the laureate for the lulz.

It's going to be Dag Solstad and then it will be either:

an off-the-wall pick of a younger ethnic writer

Someone like Adounis or Ngugi (or maybe even Ishmael Reed, though idk if he'd accept it) who has been up for it forever

>Murakami
Dudes, really? I can't understand where this is coming from, are you baiting? Especially, to put Murakami, who I suspect has been working exactly with a Nobel goal in his mind, alongside Pynchon is laughable. Don't misunderstand me as I believe his are actually the stylistically and intelectually lukewarm works that often get the reward, but tobimply, as you have, that he, the airport store author, is somehow deserving of it when you have people like Javier Marias, Peter Nadas, even Kundera, or Georgi Gospodinov whose wonderful Physics of Sorrow is better than anything written by Murakami, that is irreconcilable.
