Why is there no hype?

Because the literature prize means literally nothing. It's just a circle jerk of intellectuals. That's not to say that all Nobel prizes aren't, but literature and especially economics(which isn't even a real one) stand out.

People say this, but watch, there will be lots of threads about the authors who win.

>> No.13946624

The only guys who win this any more are literal whos that nobody reads

Because it's shit, and the day Murakami wins is the day I go and commit a massacre in Sweden.

The Bob Dylan win removed any remnants of prestige the award had. Shot themselves in the foot.

Munro won, dummy.

They are anything but. One of them published an aphorism collection this year that openly mocked the #metoo-movement and the entire scandal, and another is a Jünger-loving war historian.

My two picks:

1. László Krasznahorkai
2. Gerald Murnane

or

1. László Krasznahorkai
2. Mircea Cărtărescu

or

1. László Krasznahorkai
2. Joseph McElroy (Will never happen)

or

1. László Krasznahorkai
2. Don DeLillo

It's impossible for me to just pick two.

But in any case, I do not think they will give the prize to two males. It is almost a 100% guarantee that at least 1 woman will get it, and in that case, I would think that Olga Tokarczuk is a likely choice. We'll see...

Tokarczuk is too young still. Heard talk about Condé but she’s so fucking bad I can’t personally believe it.

It's not. Look it up. It wasn't specified in his will and was created by (((some))) bankers and is awarded by a different insitution than the rest.
