(7 years ago)On October 10th, the Swedish Academy of Arts and Sciences will share two Nobel Prizes for Literature. Among the favourites, as annually, is that of Albanian writer Ismail Kadare. Two Nobel prizes will be divided this time, since no one was given to the sex scandal [...] last year.
This time two Nobel Prizes will be divided, since no one was awarded in the past year after the sexual scandal involving members dealing with the winner's selection, writes Periscopi.
And that has made Kadare have twice as many chances of winning than there were in the past years. 
Kadare has the quota of 18 euros in bookies, or three euros more than famous Czech writer Milan Koundera.
However, the writers estimated to be most likely, and therefore have smaller quotas, are the 69-year-old Canadian poet Anne Carson (5) Euro), French writer Maryse Conde (with 6 euros), Chinese writer Can Xue with (9 euros), and Japanese Haruki Murakami (9 euros).
