The Nobel Prize in Literature will be announced on October 7. Who do you think will win?

[Anonymous No.18956144]

Pynchon, DeLillo, or Houellebecq. I hope.

Thiong'o seems a shoe-in every year and his books are great, but never ever. Modiano was the worst. Hopefully its someone like Svetlana Alexievich, whichs just gives me a couple of solid reading recommendations I would never have picked up otherwise.

I read a book of poems by Louise Gluck the other week, just to see what earns you a Nobel these days. I knew without checking she would be an academic. It's decent academic poetry but in the end it's still just academic poetry.

Gorecki immediately falls over because he has no legs - Berio stabs him.
Xenakis is busy fooling with the UPIC and looking at books on architecture and is splashed with acid by Penderecki. Xenakis screams as his "good side" is now just as bad and then dies in agony.
Berio and Ligeti get into a close quarters knife fight. Berio is wounded, but determined to kill ligeti so keeps coming
Meanwhile Penderecki is rigging up an elaborate acid trap, with color coded strings and trip wires.
Ligeti gets lucky and disembowels Berio - his guts spill everywhere and then Ligeti kicks the knife out of his hand and proceeds to choke him with his own intestines.

After finishing off Berio, Ligeti stands up to take in the situation.
Behind a massive contraption stands Penderecki, silently watching.
"Your opera was shitty" says Penderecki calmy
Ligeti gets out a hair dryer, determined to dry his lips to a level that will cause critical hygroscopy and thereby suck the moisture out of the air, and perhaps even out of Penderecki's body should it come in contact with the negatively-moisture charged lips.

Ligeti, satisfied his weaponized lips are ready begins to approach the contraption, and in the center of it, Penderecki.

Ligeti deftly avoids the first few trip wires but suddenly the color-coding and need to repeat small aleatoric movements overwhelms him and he triggers the contraption. Acid splashes from multiple directions and Ligeti screams, gurgling as his windpipe dissolves. Penderecki silently watches, the image of Ligeti's contorting figure reflecting on his glasses.

Finally Ligeti is nothing but a steaming pile of goop and bones suspended in the color coded contraption.
Penderecki walks away, humming a dissonant section of his requiem and spinning his cane.

Adonis would be a good choice since he has been passed over for a few years and is by far the best middle eastern poet. I doubt Yu Hua will win over Can Xue or Bei Dao or even Xi Xi (all 3 also deserve it more imo).

Border Districts is so good, I just finished it. It feels like it’s written as a culmination of his entire work, do you think this is accurate? I’ve only read The Plains before and Border Districts seemed to contain it and extend further to me. Also the incredibly personal nature of the book makes it feel like a career full stop. What would you recommend of his after these two?

I was thinking after I posted: who is a better poet than Adunis nowadays? I got his book by luck last year before the Nobel (it was in the "future Nobel" stand) and he's amazing.
I posted Yu Hua because him and Mo Yan are the only living writers from China that I know.

He was rumoured to be on the shortlist in 2011, along with Roth and Dylan. We won't know until 2061 though. His chance is gone, if he was to win, he would have around 2010-12 when he was registering Murakami tier odds. The longer he goes without releasing something, the worse his chances.

>do you think this is accurate?
Maybe in a way. But all of his works feel like that. View them as a spatial landscape without chronology.

>What would you recommend of his after these two?
Inland or Barley Patch but all of his stuff is good. Some of it is a bit more experimental I suppose, these two are classic Murnane, if you enjoyed the other two, you should enjoy these as well.

>>18961778
>He was rumoured to be on the shortlist in 2011, along with Roth and Dylan
You might be right, I only started following it in 2014. I was going purely on the statements academy members later on american literature. Either way, he has absolutely 0 chance now.
