Wednesday, 6 October 2021 (YJC)_The Nobel Prize season has begun, and in less than a few days, the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature will be announced at the world's largest literary event.
Each year in October, the Swedish Nobel Committee determines the winners of the literary and scientific disciplines. Like many world events, the Nobel Prizes will be held under different conditions due to the Corona epidemic. Last year, the digital ceremony replaced the award ceremony, and even the Oslo ceremony for the Nobel Peace Prize was smaller than in previous years and attended by fewer people.
This year's event will also be a combination of face-to-face and digital events. According to the Nobel Foundation, the winners will also receive their prizes in December in their home countries.
This year, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature will be announced on Thursday, October 7, according to the official website of Nobel.
Last year, American poet Louise Glick was nominated for the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature for "a distinctive poetic voice that beautifully globalizes personal experiences." During his five decades as a poet, in addition to winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, he has published more than 10 volumes of poetry books and won many prestigious literary awards, including the American National Book Award, the Pulitzer Prize, the American National Book Critics Association Award, and He has registered the National Medal of Humanities in his literary record.
