Tallaabo Posted September 23, 2013 His name frequently comes up as a favourite for this coveted prize and this year is no different. Here are the odds: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/booknews/10322801/Haruki-Murakami-is-bookmakers-favourite-for-Nobel-Prize.html I hope he wins it this year as the glory it brings would for few days mitigate the bad name Al Shabaab has brought upon us:D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Safferz Posted September 23, 2013 I root for Assia Djebar each year (one of my favourite novelists, ever). I don't like Nuruddin that much, but I would be thrilled if he won for what it would mean for Somalia and Somali literature. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha Blondy Posted September 23, 2013 ^ it wouldnt mean much for anyone. his like don't represent ordinary Somalis. let him sip cognac and smoke his cohiba cigars in south Africa. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QansaxMeygaag Posted September 23, 2013 Nuuruddin will get it; it is the year of Somalia...Ngugi the Kenyan writer is the other favourite, but there was a lot of betting on him that the Swedes might pull the plug on him... AB - odayga muxuu kaa galay niyahoow? Isn't Abdi latif Cige and Nadifa enough for S/L? Leave Nuruddin for us poor southerners.... Cognac? Af-lagaado, alla yaa wax kuu sheegaa...

nuune Posted September 23, 2013 Alpha, whoever he is, you seem to be attacking his habits, attack his achievements if any, but attacking someone's habits is like attacking your habits too(like why you like to hire maids from Oromia, it is a bad habit, but it would not go against your achievements, the garden & the library, inaar, ma garatey) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QansaxMeygaag Posted September 23, 2013 ^^ Habits-kana waa been; he does nothing of the sort, no cognac or cigars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nuune Posted September 23, 2013 ^^ Qansax, I am just agreeing with him for the sake of saqajaanimo, lets say he has habits in drinking, can that go against whatever he achieved(am assuming he writes books) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
