Novel Prize 2017

>Murakami
Nobel always outs his fans like a clockwork, what are you even doing here instead of r/books?

protip: caring about this shit at all is equally /r/books.

>Not very long novels, which has been a trend

So Cărtărescu doesn't stand a chance to ever win a Nobel?

People don't read very much so Nobel Academy aims shorter forms, I think.
Cărtărescu is still young

If he hasn't won by now, I doubt he will ever win.

There is far more nuance than that. I would be perfectly happy to be introduced to another Svetlana Alexievich or Mo Yan.

But if the nobel committee is just going to be edgy and and scramble for pop appeal and relevance by picking lyricists then the prize will be worth nothing.

> Thomas Pynchon was literally cheated out of a Pulitzer Prize because of muh poo-poo negro dick moment in Gravity's Rainbow

It's going to be Bruce Springsteen

Have you read her? What's your favorite novel by her?

What about Fumiko Enchi? Do you know how to get her works translated into english? I've only read masks, but apparently there english translations of some other works of hers.

Jon Fosse will get it, if not this year then another.
