will be Like in the next October, when in the house of the Swedish Academy, the door opens, the Olsson occurs at the moment the business of the Academy, leading Secretary Different with a piece of paper in the flashlights and in front of the microphone to the confusion of the assembled world’s media and the Nobel laureate in literature, reads the inside of the years 2018 and 2019, whether he is called first the name for 2018? Or for 2019, because that is the current year? Whether it will be Anders Olsson says may anything else, even statements?

The price of the last year, has been suspended for good reasons: because of the detection of the rape and corruption scandal and the subsequent turbulence within the Swedish Academy, not least because of their difficulty to get these in the handle. The work as a American sitcoms, such as behind Haruki Murakami, thrown: Here, take him, otherwise you will never get him! Or you, Margaret Atwood, otherwise you might have to wait another ten years!

Is not battered the Nobel prize for literature at all, he has not lost his Reputation on principle, just like him forgiving the Swedish Academy? Everything you hear from Stockholm, suggests that it still crunches in the Academy. From a real fresh start can hardly speak.

Nevertheless, belonged To the slightly more far-sighted members of Danius always, and she was often criticized for, of all things, from Engdahl. Danius said recently that the subsequent award of the Nobel prize for literature in 2018 was a mistake. Out of respect for the women who had been harassed by Arnault, would have been appropriate for a waiver: “So you would be able to remember that something actually happened, like a crack in the windshield.” How true! The literature and the world it wouldn’t have hurt – a will continue to be written, the other continues to rotate.
