It turns out Kadare's host is the Nobel Prize for Literature not given this year cause, chaos at the Academy

The Swedish Academy is discussing the annulment of the Nobel Prize for Literature, following the release of charges of sexual misconduct. The decision is expected to become official on May 3rd, Periscopi writes.

At the weekly meeting held yesterday, April 26, the 11 remaining members of the committee debated the issue in question. Swedish “Academia yesterday discussed the Nobel Prize and came to no decision,” said Per Westberg, which runs the four-person panel that awards the award for the Guardian newspaper.

After next Tuesday's meeting, it is very likely that we will come out with a statement that whether or not we will give the price for this year or reserve it for next year, with which two awards would be awarded in October 2019. ”

Westberg, who is a well-known poet and writer, said the academy has been involved in a productive dialogue in recent weeks with the Nobel Foundation, which oversees the six awards given according to dynamite inventor Alfred Nobel.

The institution, founded by King Gustav of III in 1786 to advance “cleansing, to empower and reduce Swedish” was shaken in November when French photographer Jean-Claude Arnault was accused of sexual harassment by 18 different women. Arnaus is married to a member of the Katarina Frostenson Academy.

The crisis deepened earlier this month, when three members left their seats in protest of the failure to expel Frostenson, despite a report by a legal firm accusing Arnaul of sharing the names of the last seven Nobel Prize winners.

The academy's permanent secretary, Sara Darius, withdrew as did Frostenson last week.

A cultural journalist said this institution no longer deserved to be the Nobel Prize for this year. /Periscopi
