The prominent Albanian writer, Ismail Kadare, could most likely receive the Nobel Prize. At least this announcement was forwarded by the French media. The writer's all literary creativity, through these decades, has not stopped, and it seems that the finish line will be the great and long - awaited prize of all. He is not only the greatest writer of Albanian literature but also one of the world's best - known writers of literature.
Stockholm's literary circles agree on one thing, writes Agence France-Presse (AFP): The academy, after all odds, will make this year a consensual, conservative choice, after last year's election -- so discussed -- that went to the legend of music, the songwriter Bob Dylan.
What happened last year was totally unusual. This year I think it's going to be a male novelist or Europe-rooted essayist. I think it's going to be the opposite of Bob Dylan”, predicts Bjorn Wiman, the culture editor of the main Swedish newspaper “Dagens Nygeter”.
He thinks that Portugal's Antonio Lobo Antunes and Ismail Kadare from Albania have a good chance. Everyone will think: of course, they deserve Nobel and there will be no objections”.
