Javier Marías should win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
I’m just not sure it will happen this year.
Now that betting agencies have increased wagering on one of
the most prestigious prizes in the world, I thought it time to attempt my own
prognostications. Let me put aside
my personal favorite and make a prediction (probably a wrong one):
Either Chinua Achebe or Salman Rushdie will be the surprise
winner announced in 15 hours out of Stockholm. You heard it here first.
(Addendum: Chinese writer Mo Yan has this morning been awarded the prize, keeping my streak of horribly inaccurate predictions intact.)
