Swedish language interview with the Syrian poet Adonis, who almost certainly will not win a Nobel prize today when the winner will be announced.

Most likely the winner will be somebody that most of us haven´t even remotely considered as a winner, but hopefully at least the winner will be someone who is relatively well known. I´m all for the rescuing of good, but little known authors from obscurity, but not every year. There have been some bad choices recently - like Naipaul - and the Swedish Academy probably should play it safe for a couple of years and give prizes to well known and deserving writers. More.
