Congratulations Jon Fosse

Um espetáculo de escritor!!!!

Is it possible to have best seller award of books? Nobel is the best global award. For quality and continues delivery. The issue of vocabulary is significantly higher to be compared with the plot against the metaphore.

These guys always give an immediate confession.

@@ericsynchrona5495 He says that, if you have an urge to write, you write what you want to write. You don't do it because you want to write "for the prize". For example, he says he would continue to write even though he wouldn't find a publisher. I don't know what is so questionable about this "confession" of his.

Nobel in literature only for European languages and European Writers. What about Asian Languages Writers and African Languages Writers

[@___Truth___]

There was an African Nobel Laureate who won, I believe two years ago or so.

[@Peter-tr7gg]

Tell them to write as well as Europeans do

Richer countries, in general, produce better literature
