The Nobel Committee is a pack of Euro-centric nitwits. (Whatever the opposite of an oxymoron is, Eurocentric nitwits is an example of it.)
Bad news for American writers hoping for a Nobel Prize next week: the top member of the award jury believes the United States is too insular and ignorant to compete with Europe when it comes to great writing.
Counters the head of the U.S. National Book Foundation: “Put him in touch with me, and I’ll send him a reading list.”
Eh. What do I care? Julian May, Steven Donaldson, and Anne McCaffrey will never win it, so it’s obviously not a prize worth having.
