    We have been reminded that behind the mystical Nobel curtain is a small, fairly homogenous group of fallible Swedes who have taken it upon themselves to arbitrate all of world literature.http://nyer.cm/G8vonMi

        “Why, after all, do we get so worked up about which writer a committee of Swedish intellectuals chooses to anoint in any given year?” Exactly⁉️

        A small group of Swedes may have "taken it upon themselves to arbitrate world literature" but it is the responsibility of individuals if they listen.

        Without the Nobel list to guide me I doubt I would have read the amazing works of Elfriede Jelinek, Herta Muller or Magda Szabo.

        A Nobel in literature is as arbitrary and useless as one in economics.

        Their track record with economists is truly appalling, eg: https://www.inquisitr.com/4881038/bitcoin-is-only-good-for-crooks-say-four-nobel-prize-winning-economists/ … #Bitcoin

        “This is why the academy’s choice of Kazuo Ishiguro, last year, felt, to me, fairly or unfairly, like a bit of a wasted opportunity....” —Ludicrous statement.
