Nobel Prize in Literature Goes to Anne Carson
Published
The Canadian writer Anne Carson is receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature. This is reported by the broadcaster ZDF. The award is one of the most well-known honours for authors worldwide.
Carson is best known for her poetry. One critic describes her work with the sentence: "She writes poems for people who don't like poems." This statement shows that her texts are also meant to reach readers who otherwise have little use for poetry. Her works also combine various literary forms and genres.
The Nobel Prize in Literature is awarded every year by the Swedish Academy in Stockholm. The laureates receive a medal, a diploma and a cash prize. The formal ceremony traditionally takes place on 10 December, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death.
The Academy's decision is being closely followed in Germany by many friends of literature. Those who want to learn more about Anne Carson and her books will already find a selection of her translations in German bookshops and libraries.
