Re: JCO: Nobel prize

We do this every year. I am disappointed that JCO didn't get the award, but that someone with whose work I am not familiar did get it doesn't upset me--it just makes me curious. Who is this unfamiliar (to me) writer who is good enough to get a Nobel prize? That's kind of exciting--a directed discovery.

On the Nobel site there is a long article on the criteria and history of the interpretation of the criteria for the Nobel Literature prize. It is very instructive, and fairly candid on early failings of the prize choices, and criticism of past and recent trends.
