Well it is fast approaching the time of year when the betting for the Nobel literature prize opens

Ive look at odd checker and here are the top ten runners-

 

 

 

 

1. Haruki Murakami – Always near the top of the list Not sure it is his year myself review 
2. Ngugi Wa Thiong’o – For me, this may be the year, a review of one of his books
3. Magaret Attwood – Only read one of her books I did like it so maybe
4. Amos Oz – I loved his latest Judas  when we read it for Man Booker my review of it
5. Adunis – always near the top he is another one I feel may win I did have one poem by him
6. Claudio Magris – A writer I love and pleased to see him here my review of blindly 
7. Don Dellio – probably one of the best American writer around  I reviewed him a few years ago
8. Ko Un another poet I did feature one poem a few years ago
9. Javier Marias – he has written one epic trilogy and a number of good books  have reviewed him before .
10. Jon Fosse – could it be a home win I have reviewed him here 

Then I have a few names outside to mention

Laszlo Krasznahorkai – brilliant writer

Antonio Lobo Antunes – another favourite of mine

Ismail Kadare – a solid writer like Pamuk!

Peter Handke – maybe to outspoken but has written some great books

Cesar Aira – A writer I’d like to read more of !!

Who do you think will win after Dylan last year ?
