Does anyone think a DU writer deserves a Nobel Prize in literature?

[BostonMa]

The Nobel prize for literature starts in September for the next year, do you know any of these category people?

1. Members of the Swedish Academy and of other academies, institutions and societies which are similar to it in construction and purpose;
2. Professors of literature and of linguistics at universities and university colleges;
3. Previous Nobel Prize Laureates in Literature;
4. Presidents of those societies of authors that are representative of the literary production in their respective countries.

I would guess here we might know number two and four among the DU members so come on people! If you know lit professors let\'s get the ball rolling.

February is the deadlines for submissions.

Anytime we have with Will Pitt is more precious then gold itself.

My foo_bar sense is tingling (aka "ability to recognize satire").

4. I don't think they recognize message board entries.

Maybe not yet at least lol but I think it has to be an actual book.

[calimary]

Yours is BY FAR the better one!

But, no, I couldn't accept.

[Fenris]

22. I'd like to nominate that Flemish troll whose sole post was about how lazy Wallons are.

I mention him only because we've never had a Flemish troll before. It was the highlight of my mod career.

[Bluebear]
