The reason I love the Nobel Prize for Literature.

I love the Nobel Prize for Literature because they award it, for the most part, to authours who the western world know little or nothing about. For example,

2010
Mario Vargas Llosa

2009
Herta Müller

2008
Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio

A great chance for us in the western world to broaden our horizons and for the winners to publish more widely.  A win-win situation with a sweet tingling sense of justice...
