    It’s all about the country they’re from. Once in a while we throw some random that isn’t from europe or north america or even some guy that’s really famous world wide, but rarely someone who deserves it. Why choose Philip Roth for example, when there is Le Clezio

      And the language they write in. I've little hopes of a work in my language getting a Nobel, however well-written it might be. European languages get an unfair advantage over other languages.

      The prize has no validity or meaning if it was not given to Philip Roth, who was without doubt one of the best living writers at the time.

    Those who reduce the decision of the Nobel Literature Jury to that of mere racism, and eurocentrism, you should replay 1:53, and try to sink the fact that the Jury is a collection of Writers from countries that aren't necessarily from Europe, and even those non-european writers look for, 'something more' than the excellent writing that's found in the world, something which couldn't be explained precisely.

    I still don't get it , do they use some kinds of computer algorithms. Because nowadays, it's easy to fall down into the bubble that contains only the famous writers not the great writers. Every year around 500000-1000000 books gets published. I'm 200% sure, that every year, thousands of great books or literature masterpieces passes unnoticed, Like F.scott. Fitgerald, Leo Tolstoy and many other great writers from developing countries.

    Out of the lingual abundance
    The flawed matrimony of meanings and words
    The best hybrid you can divorce is Silence
    And the worst.
    It is your only possession private
    You have no title over the multiple rest.
    It is the worst conclusion you can arrive at
    And the best.

    Hello! Thanks for explaining how you think. I’m feeling intrigued by your choice to focus on literary merit. I’m a bookworm, and what I look for primarily is ethics. If there’s beauty and creativity in writing, then it is a real pleasure to read. I think the choice of moral dilemmas is important to help us think about a chaotic world. If the writer has a destructive worldview, no amount of literary excellence does it for me. I just think that can make the literature more harmful. There is one popular book in France. A lot of people love it for its’ beauty, romance and literary artistry. But if you have just a little bit of insight into how women have been treated throughout history, the story reads as a pretty toxic and even dangerous relationship. But because it is perceived as beautiful, many people buy into it. What do you, Nobel Prize committee, think about this? I’d be happy to know.

    4:56 min ... makes me think of the idea of three dimensional chess ... for some reason, a little earlier today, I was thinking about ... multiple layers of simultaneous comprehension, suspended in air, without possibility, of anything, in of itself, that might resolve, and yet, overall, needed, to arrive at a simple conclusion, not simplistic, to harness, an open ended array, of depth and breadth, contained, in a single breath.

      @charlieelreno1812 6 месяцев назад

      I don't think that's true. There you have the examples of Doris Lessing, with an entire saga dedicated to a sci-fi story, and Kazuo Ishiguro, whose novels have gone from a Sci-fi standpoint (as in Never let me go or Klara and the sun) to pure rooted fantasy (The buried giant). I'd even argue that, a writer a like way more as José Saramago, has a literary corpus composed primarily by fantasy, thriller and imaginative plots.

      Some witters are not proposed for Nobel. You can't self proclaim for a Nobel. And it's not only Europe. My country is from Europe and didn't won a single Noble prize. And we had some amazing writers that were proposed but didn't win, that weren't proposed at all... So are things that count more for the comity then the county you are from.

    ''Said very good things. Thank you. But there are a few things to say to you. Most countries have regional languages. Writers in those languages ​​are working tirelessly. Why do not you care about their efforts. Translating works into regional languages ​​is financially difficult for writers. Loss. In fact your help is definitely needed for such people. But you do not realize it. You should recognize the literature of backward regional languages. Or set up 'another special award' for the same. Only then is the true validity of the Noble ideas. Take India for example. There are many regional languages ​​like Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam ... Great literature is emerging. In fact, after Rabindranath Tagore, another ten awards should really come to India. You do not recognize regional languages ​​.It's very painful. In fact, Telugu is a regional language in India. As a writer in that language I have written over a hundred stories. 20 books arrived. You can check my profile on Wikipedia. I worked very hard. In fact, if I had been born in Europe, I would have been nominated for the Nobel Literature Prize.''-Print out my opinion on the wall of the Noble office room. The world knows the truth. Thank you.

      They never claimed that they're obliged to recognize languages, and the efforts of writers in every language. I'm a Telugu speaking person, and I find it rather silly that you're saying your work needs to be taken to the committee just because you've written it. If I, as a native Telugu speaker, don't know of your existence myself, what makes you think that your work is so revolutionary as to be discussed by some Swedish Laureate?
