Lit Nobel 2008

This year, an interesting story unfolds around the Nobel Prize for Literature. I only have time right now to post some links, bookmarks if you will.

1) Mini-scandal regarding Permanent Secretary's thoughts on US literature.

2) The winner is Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio.

3) Turns out, Le Clezio is a little bit American, among other things--go Albuquerque!.

4) It's not at all strange that New Mexico is part-time home to Le Clezio.

Now I'm retuning to my cave of exam studying.

Shakespeare and Zabic Get Parodied...

...One of them for the first time in history:

Issue 1 anthologizes thousands of poets! (The Zabic poem appears save-the-best-for-last. Vanessa Williams.)

Super!
