Elysian Posted October 9, 2004 I heard a couple of days ago on the radio, before they had announced the Noble prize winner in litterature, that a somali was one of the candidates for the prize. I was surely surprised to hear that! Unfortunately I'm not familiar with somali writers, the only one that came to my mind was Nuruddin Farah. Do we have other internationally well known writers? If whoever suggested the somali person for the Noble prize keep doing that each year and the somali guy have a long life who knows he might win a beautiful day. ps. An austrian called Elfriede Jelinek won this year, she has social phobi so she wont come to stockholm to receive her prize... The litterature prize winners seem to be shy people, last year's winner barely made it to the stage. Maybe that's what it takes for the somali guy to win, become a hermit...
