>>24777924sugoi desu
Did it really leaked?
>>24777924Sca-Ji is a better prose stylist.
>>24777924Ōe and Kawabata will still be the only REAL japanese authors to have won the prize. They love there gaijinized japs thoughie
>>24779057This guy should have won in 1964.
>>24777924his novels are so terrible bros
>>24779125I've only read 細雪 but it was great, definitely better than anything Haruki has written.
>>24778749Feels like a lie since the last thread we had people were dunking on Murakami.
It's a meme.
Makes sense honestly. Much better than some literally whos that people seem to prefer over recognizable names for the sake of contrarianism
Who gives a shit?Kissinger won for ending a war that he himself prolonged. Obama won it in anticipation of all the wonderful things he would do, and then he didn't do any of them.It's a meaningless trophy.
another jap? didn'tt murakami just win
>>24779794Thats the peace prize not the literature prize you retard.
>>24780390Bob Dylan won it for making shitty music
>>24780448If they were set on giving it to a popular musician, it should have been Bowie
>>24777924Will they finally release translations without 100 pages cut and all offensive scenes censored?
Do all japanese turned into southeast asian when they get old
sometimes if someone is denied a reward repeatedly it means they're too kino for mainstream establishments to recognize themsometimes
>>24781855He was dead and he wasn't know for lyricism/storytelling. Folk music is a storytelling genre.
>>24777924the ichi kju 8 shi guy?
>>24780448I'd take Bob Dylan any day over ((Ginsberg)) and their ilk
>>24782098Dylan and Ginsberg were friends. See: https://youtu.be/MGxjIBEZvx0
I checked out his latest turd in the supermarket, The City and Its Uncertain Walls, or something, and damn it was garbage even by muragummy standards
