STOCKHOLM - Austrian writer Peter Handke won the 2019 Nobel Prize for Literature on Thursday and Polish author Olga Tokarczuk was named as the 2018 winner after a sexual assault scandal led to last year’s award being postponed.
While Tokarczuk’s agent said the award should not be seen in the context of a parliamentary election Poland will hold on Sunday, the author called on Poles to “vote in a right way for democracy”. Two prizes were awarded this year after last year’s award was postponed over the scandal that led to the husband of an Academy member being convicted of rape.Since then, the organisation has appointed new members and reformed some of its more arcane rules after a rare intervention by its royal patron, the king of Sweden.
“I feel a strange kind of freedom, I don’t know, a freedom, which is not the truth, as if I were innocent,” he said.
Hearfelt Congratulations !
Trump probably thinks he should receive the prize for his Tweets and it’s oh so unfair that he didn’t...
