GENINT 741.479
Osher (50+). In this course, we read the works of three authors whose work has been deemed worthy of the Nobel-Prize in Literature but who have not won the prize.
About this course:
Every year, the Swedish Academy sends out requests regularly for nominations of candidates for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Members of the Academy, members of literature academies and societies, professors of literature and language, former Nobel literature laureates and the presidents of writers' organizations are all allowed to nominate a candidate (besides themselves). We read the work of three celebrated literary figures—Jorge Luis Borges, Henry James and W.G. Sebald—whose work has been deemed worthy of the Nobel-Prize in Literature but who have not won the prize. Borges was nominated at least ten times, James was nominated three times and Sebald was never nominated.Contact Us
