Tomorrow, the Swedish Academy selects two Nobel laureates in literature and author Joyce Carol Oates is once again a hot candidate. In SVT's Skavlan she tells what it would mean to win the award.
- When my parents were alive, they were as proud as parents usually are. Then my first husband was proud, then my second husband ... And now I'm alone. So if I got a prize it would be heartbreaking, because I have no one to share it with.
Play the clip above to hear Joyce Carol Oates talk about the Nobel Prize in Skavlan and see the guests' warm response.
The entire episode of Skavlan will be broadcast on SVT1 on Friday, October 11 at 21:00 and can be seen on SVT Play the same day.
