ITT place your pets for who's gonna win the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature

I'm guessing pic related. It's been a while since they gave it to a philosopher.

Just give it to Murakami already.

>giving a white male any form of award in the current year
Are you being purposefully retarded, or are you ignorant of just how much academia hates men, whites, and especially white men.

He's both hard to read and far too right wing to win anything big anymore. I know this sounds ludicrous, but put yourself in the prograssives sgoes and evaluate him

Slavoj Žižek, Slovenian philosopher and longtime critic of Handke, told the Guardian: “In 2014, Handke called for the Nobel to be abolished, saying it was a ‘false canonisation’ of literature. The fact that he got it now proves that he was right. This is Sweden today: an apologist of war crimes gets a Nobel prize while the country fully participated in the character assassination of the true hero of our times, Julian Assange. Our reaction should be: not the literature Nobel prize for Handke but the Nobel peace prize for Assange.”

And some ((((Polish))) dyke with dreads who said the following
>... meanwhile, we did terrible things as colonizers, the national majority who suppressed the minority, as slave owners or murderers of Jews. I think we will have to face our own story and try to rewrite it a bit, without hiding all these terrible things.
