Nobel Prize
Do we really have to have yet another Nobel Prize winner in Literature that nobody has heard of, and I don't want to read, because his work "is characterised by absurdism and grotesque excess"? Is it too much to ask that they consider writers like Wendell Berry, Mark Helprin, Marilynne Robinson, Claire Keegan, Haruki Murakami? It seems like obscurity is an essential quality to win this thing.
