Ulrika Milles, literary critic:
Who gets the prize?
This year, the prize goes to someone who does not create scandal where the academy enjoys teasing the public, who last year had parts of the external committee to defend Peter Handke's political judgment (microscopically) when the prize went to his literature (major).
Most perhaps just because the academy needs to rest, and spare the new members?
It will probably be an overseas female writer like Anne Carson, tight original essayist, Louise Glück, sylvass American poet, or perhaps Jamiaca Kincaid, American with Caribbean roots and a writing of subtle rage about the violence of colonialism.
They should all get it, though not shared!
Who should get the prize?
On my personal list have long been Nina Bouraoui and Marie N'Diaye, two brilliant French writers born in 1967.
Ingrid Elam, literary critic
Who gets the prize?
Given who has received in recent years, it is completely impossible to predict.
Handke was not even on the tipping lists.
What you can guess is someone in general that no one has thought of in recent years.
It is said that it must be a woman this time, current, and not from the Nordics.
They can do just the opposite to provoke.
Solstad has not been relevant for a long time, but is a good Nordic author who is worth it.
Who should get the prize?
I think Anne Carson should get it.
She is a fantastic voice because she renews literature.
She combines modern literature with the classical myths.
I think she is completely incomparable.
Jessica Gedin, host of Babel
Who gets the prize?
I have no idea who will receive the Nobel Prize in Literature this year.
After the scandals and the collapse of the Academy, I have also lost the urge to guess if I should be completely honest.
However, I think some expectations feel more fun than others, like Jamaica Kincaid for example, or Anne Carson.
Who should get the prize?
If I had to decide for myself, I would like Art Speigelman to get it.
Spiegelman is the series creator who made, among other things, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus and the fine In the Shadow of No Towers.
He is a lovely narrator, both in image and text, and it's time to pay attention to the creators of the series, I think.
