This year's selection has been postponed due to a sexual scandal, and Murakai has now said he is more interested in focusing on the writings, Euronews writes, Kosovo follows.
He has expressed gratitude for the nomination he was made, saying “I want to concentrate on the scriptures and be out of the spotlight of the drug”. One of the Nobel Prize for Literature organisers has announced this.
Murakai's rival for this year's Nobel is Neil Gaiman, born in Great Britain, Friday Conde born in Guadeloupe and Kim Thy born in Vietnam.
Organisers have announced that Nobel Prize winner in Literature will be announced in October.
