How hard is to win the nobel prize of literature?
>>8222080
10/10 stupidest question I have seen on /lit/
>>8222080
Quite.
>>8222080
the fact that you even ask this question tells me you're not gonna make it
>>8222080
Because a bunch of cucks are in charge of it.
Just be a woman minority.
>>8222198
this, picture related
>>8222229
Too many cunts.
>>8222198
You realize they aren't minorities in their own country, right? It's an international prize.
>>8222080
it's not that difficult
someone wins it every year
just wait long enough, it'll be your turn eventually
>>8222229
Jesus, could those quotes be anymore pretentious.
>>8222611
>pretentious
what do you think the pretense is?
>>8222619
that is not the only definition of the word, anon
camus won it so it can't be that hard
>>8222649
I know right? Also Hemingway and he is so entry level.
Just write somrthing cool
>>8222641
>white,
nearly all the people on the list in >>8222229 are white
>middle-class,
they are almost certainly all middle class
>straight,
i bet nearly all of them are straight
>cis-gendered,
can't see any trans people in that picture
>male?
7/12 of them are male
>American
there is your problem anon. stop being so parochial.
>>8222648
you're still wrong, no matter how much you try to humptydumpty the word. those quotes are from the nobel committee, which is made up of academics and professionals etc. they are actually smart people for whom that kind of quote is normal speech. if you think it is pretentious, the chances are that actually you are the pretentious one.

>5/12 women
>less than equal is still too much
well memed
Authors who have not won a Nobel Prize include:
Joyce
Nabokov
Ibsen
Tolstoy
Conrad
Kafka
Borges
Honestly, awarding a translingual literary prize seems like a fool's errand anyway.

>he posted the "Hemmingway is entry level" meme again
>>8222198
>>8222663
I never understood the Hemingway hate here.
>>8222725
He writes at a sixth grade reading level, and pseuds think that's a bad thing.
>>8222714
Ibsen doesn't deserve shit.
t. Strindberg
Borges openly complained about never getting a Nobel. The Swedecucks didn't want him because Borges accepted a recognition prize from the Chilean military dictatorship aided by the United States with all the political bullshit that implies, although Borges didn't hold any strong political belief and just accepted it out of courtesy.
Conrad deserves every prize he can get, but we both know that he wouldn't have wanted that.
>>8222649
Camus might not be stellar but go fuck yourself anyway.
>>8222725
That was sarcasm. I actually like him a lot. And he is fucking amazing. Only plebs really hate him.

It's lost its prestige since they began awarding them to writers for political purposes.
>>8222229
reading 2009's winner and honestly i usually go until chapter 5 before I toss a book and this one is asking for it at chapter 2 tbqh f am
I don't think want to give it to any """white males""" since Knut Hamsun mailed his nobel prize to Goebbels.
>>8222714
>Kafka
Wasn't particularly know in his lifetime.
>>8222809
It takes all sorts to make a world, we can't all be patricians. You do you.
>>8223732
Good point; I forgot about that.
Who do you think will win this year? Who do you hope for?
>>8225489
umberto eco died so i dont care anymore reeeeeeeeee
>>8225489
Personally I hope for pinecone btw.
if Kertész got one, anyone can
>>8225489
KRASZNAHORKAI WHEN
Maybe in these days it's easier because there isn't a very good author. If you're good and lucky you can make it.
I'm Swedish and have some insight to the committee, AMA (except who'll win this year - naturally I don't have THAT much insight).
They're very honorable in my opinion, and do their job well.
>>8225930
>have some insight to the committee
Could you elaborate?
Light 7 I'd say.
just write some lefty gibberish that panders to Swedish sensibilities and they'll give you one
maybe even two
>>8225930

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
