STOCKHOLM (AP) — The announcements of the science awards are over and now the Nobel Prize spotlight turns to literature.
The permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, Sara Danius, is expected to announce the winner of the 2015 Nobel Prize in literature at 1100 GMT in the academy’s Grand Hall in Stockholm’s Old Town district.
Many of the names rumored to be among the top candidates in previous years are back in the buzz for this year’s award, with betting firm Ladbrokes giving the lowest odds to Belarusian journalist Svetlana Alexievich, Haruki Murakami of Japan, Kenya’s Ngugi Wa Thiong’o, Norwegian playwright Jon Fosse and American writer Joyce Carol Oates.
The secretive academy has dropped no hints before the announcement.
