ah, of course.The 2018 prize was postponed because of a sexual harassment scandal among the Nobel committee
More than Elfriede Jelinek?Huh...Handke won? He's quite a controversial figure, I'm surprised (not really) that they would make such a barbed choice when they are rebuilding their reputation.
Was Jelinek that contoversional? I mean her books were but as a person? Well anyway, Handke is long overdue, great author. Given that his output hasn't been that great in recent years. Haven't heard about Tokarczuk , gotta check her out.
He wasn't awarded the Peace prizehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Handke#Controversies
Oh, the guy who justified ethnic cleansing and genocide and defended war criminals. Disgusting.
Stay classy, Nobel committee.
