Yep. Just keep selecting random people. It's not like there are writers who really deserve it. Joker Send a noteboard - 09/10/2009 03:35:15 AM
I confess I have never heard of her. Jonte will have to add her to the list of authors to read. Does anyone know her work?


This award is fast becoming a joke. Besides, as Hemingway once said, no one who wins the prize ever writes anything worth reading afterwards.

Just keep giving it to random Europeans. Writers like Margaret Atwood and Alice Munro will soon pass on and never receive it, joining the ranks of writers like Joyce, Kafka, and Borges, who were not good enough to win the beloved Nobel, yet wrote circles around the political winners.

What a fucking joke.
