Meh. I guess they were under pressure to produce a Swedish winner again. jh Send a noteboard - 06/10/2011 05:34:05 PM
While Tranströmer has been quite big in the speculations for the last 10-15 years, and is supposedly translated to some 60 different languages, I have a hard time taking it seriously. It's probably because he writes about death. From a light perspective. In poetry form. God, I hate poetry. :P

Still. If the members of the academy said he should win it, he should win it. After all, they are the sole people tasked with awarding said prize.

The Prize....
