The Nobel Prize for Literature will be announced at 8pm on the 10th of Japan time. Last year, the award winners for the last two years were announced because the announcement was postponed following a series of scandals at the Swedish Academy.
Last year's Nobel Prize in Literature was a husband of the Swedish Academy's selection committee, and sexual violence and sexual harassment issues by men who are said to have a strong influence on the literary world have emerged. Internal conflicts intensified, including six resignations.
