In a day, we will find out who wins the Nobel Prize in Literature for 2024. Some names being thrown out there are Can Xue, Mircea Cărtărescu, Anne Carson, Gerald Murnane, Haruki Murakami, Margaret Atwood, and Thomas Pynchon.
I personally hope that Anne Carson, Margaret Atwood, and Haruki Murakami win one soon, partly because I am not really familiar with a lot of other authors being mentioned for the prize. That's my shortcoming. I mean Pynchon for instance, he's pretty famous, so no excuses. Reflecting back on the winners for the past few years, other than Louise Gluck who won in 2020, I've not been familiar with others.
By the way, age is another reason I wish Atwood win soon, I mean she will be 85 in a month.
What are your thoughts on who you wish could win the prize in the next few years.
