Although recent winners have been all over the place it's still a generally safe rule to bet against any style that's not defined by its austerity. (I like Handke but he's a good example of it)Your Pynchon's and whatnot have no chance. And neither do more likely candidates like Edna O'Brien.

It has been a while since they honored the philosopher, so to take a stab in the dark I think Nussbaum someone like her has a chance. She has both the institutional cache, and specializes in various sacred cow topics like animal rights and global warming.

It will also make retards here seethe and so would be absolutely worth it.

Austere is about right, I find his prose completely empty.
A shame too as I like both Henry James and Thomas Mann, this guy should be right up my alley, but while lacking some of the cringe of a lot of modern MFA writers he does have a remarkably similar style.

I just read an essay by knausgaard from 2019 pushing for fosse to win nobel. From essay:
"Few modern writers could be as far removed from Jon Fosse and the place in which he stands than Michel Houellebecq. Houellebecq’s novels are idea-based, provocative, engaged with the contemporary, disillusioned, smart, misanthropic, and seem somehow to present a face towards the reader. Fosse’s writing contains scarcely an idea, and not a scrap of provocation, the contemporary is toned down or else avoided completely, and although his work often approaches death and explores a kind of existential ground zero, it is never disillusioned and certainly not misanthropic, but full of hope."
Do you agree anon? I've never heard of fosse but like knausgaard quite a bit. Do you think i would like fosse? What other authors do you like?

>> No.22569173

Desu I don't think Knausgaard is delusional enough to think he deserves the Nobel. He's not innovating or blowing people's minds with the content of his writing. The only impressive thing is how he manages to stay so consistent (in a good way) while churning out thousands of pages over the years.
