Who might win the Nobel Prize in Literature this year? The Swedish Academy in Stockholm announced its decision on Thursday. The betting offices currently favor the Norwegian Jon Fosse, the Kenyan Ngugi Wa Thiong’o, the Chinese writer Can Xue and the Australian Gerald Murnane. The exact rankings vary depending on the betting provider, but Romanian Mircea Cărtărescu, Chilean Raúl Zurita and Yan Lianke from China also rank high. There is a trend towards authors who do not come from Europe or the USA. Long-standing favorites such as Canadians Anne Carson and Margaret Atwood are sometimes at the back of the pack this time.
