The Nobel Prize in Literature has been controversial since its inception, and ordinary people can't easily comment on the sciences such as physics, chemistry, and medicine, which consume brain cells.

But the literary prize is different, as long as people who are literate and can write a few strokes want to interject, so every Nobel Prize in Literature is like a lively drama.

Now that the 2018 drama of the year has begun, the major sportsbooks will be predicting the winners at this time of year!

Of course, most of them were not guessed, but there were some guesses, such as the 2015 winner Alek Sejevic, who was number one in the betting list.

So who could this year's winner be?

Or is it a writer representing which continent?

What kind of subject matter are you writing about?

All of this has caught the attention of the media, and the bookmakers are adjusting the odds of each different writer on a daily basis. rate, any wind and grass will cause change.

After such a long time, Lin Han didn't expect that he could still join the battle of the Nobel Prize, which is of extraordinary significance!

"Lose this year. The rate is the first, shouldn't it still be Haruki Murakami? ”

Lin Han couldn't help laughing, whether it was on the original earth or in this world, Haruki Murakami was a sad person. The rate is ranked first, but it can't win awards every year.

has become the famous 10,000-year-old companion king of the Nobel Prize in Literature, and he is really far from winning the award!

Lin Han is fine now, he is tidying up his shirt and trousers at this moment, and going to participate in the auction bidding of "Lost" at night.

must go to the platform for his work, after all, his face is still very valuable, at least it can help "Lost" add some competitiveness.

After investing 50 million yuan, you have to see the benefits!

Anyway, just being a mascot, Lin Han didn't refuse.

According to his idea, at this time, he can just wear casual clothes, but Chen Jiaxuan has to turn out the casual shirt, and he is not even allowed to wear a polo shirt, let alone a T-shirt or something.

……

"Honey, guess what I saw on the Internet?"

Chen Jiaxuan sat on the bed, her body leaning on the head of the bed, she shook her mobile phone, and her face was full of smiles.

Lin Han hung his shirt aside, he shook his head, "I can't guess this, there is so much news on the Internet." ”

"There's news on the Internet that you're on the short list for the Nobel Prize and now you're on their bookmaker's odds. Rate in the top 10! ”

"Really? How could this list come to light? Lin Han's hand paused, he felt that the credibility of this news was really not high.

Chen Jiaxuan handed the mobile phone to Lin Han and said emphatically: "This is not an ordinary gossip newspaper, this is Sweden's most authoritative media "Swedish Daily", known as Sweden's Times, which is very credible. ”

Lin Han took it and took a look at it, and found that he didn't know any of the words on this article, and he couldn't read Swedish at all!

Fortunately, there is an English translator next to it, otherwise it would have been really troublesome.

"According to a source familiar with the Swedish Academy of Letters, the short list for this year's Nobel Prize in Literature has been released, and in addition to the existing several veteran candidates, several newcomers have been added, one of whom is the great director Lin Han, who focuses on writing science fiction stories......

"How? Isn't there some surprise! ”

Chen Jiaxuan said excitedly, "If you win the Nobel Prize and the Oscar, wouldn't you want to make history?" ”

Seeing his daughter-in-law so excited, as if the Nobel Prize and the Oscar statuette were already in hand, Lin Han couldn't help but pour cold water: "Don't be too happy, Principal Cai called me yesterday to tell me that he recommended my work for two consecutive years, not to mention a list of two or three hundred people." ”

"What exactly do you mean by the big list and the short list? What's the difference? Chen Jiaxuan is quite familiar with the selection rules of the Golden Rooster Awards, Golden Horse Awards, and Academy Awards in China, and knows the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards, but she has never paid attention to the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Lin Han sat on the side, he organized his language, and said: "If you want to select the Nobel Prize in Literature, the first thing is to confirm the qualifications, clear out the unqualified nomination letters, and then register the valid nominations on the list. These lists are submitted to the Swedish Academy for review, and since some candidates are recommended by more than one person, more than 300 nomination letters can generally be grouped into a long list of 200 people. ”

"So you might just be on the long list?"

"That's right, most of the candidates on the long list are to be eliminated by the jury, and a re-selection list of 15-20 people is compressed, which is commonly known as the semi-long list."

Chen Jiaxuan sighed slightly in her heart, "If you want to win the Nobel Prize, you really have to pass five levels and kill six generals, what is the standard for this elimination?" ”

"Some of these eliminated works are not of sufficient literary value because they are scientific papers; Some are pure literary writers, but they do not reach the necessary level; Some of the reasons for nomination are non-literary, such as political, ideological, or nationalistic. ”

Historically, first-time nominees have generally been eliminated early, and it has been difficult for senior or former government officials to get through.

At this time, the jury sometimes asks for expert advice on some unfamiliar works, or arranges emergency translations for some works that lack proper translations!

Lin Han's series of science fiction has long been translated into English, and even many into Swedish, which is not a problem.

"In June, the jury will propose the final shortlist, and the ju, commonly known as the short list, will be reported to the Swedish Academy for approval for the third time, and the college can revise the list or replace or add candidates at the college meeting."

Now the news circulating on the Internet is that Lin Han has entered the final shortlist list!

Starting in June, the summer assignment of all academicians of the Faculty of Arts is to read the works of the final five candidates, and since most of them are the last losers of the previous year, they generally only need to read the works of the first or two newcomers, as well as the new works of the "old candidates" in the last year.

In addition to reading the book, each judge also needs to write their own recommendation report, which must have something to say, so as to show that they have really read and understood the works of these candidates!

The Faculty of Arts will resume in mid-September to begin its final selection. The investigation of the current situation of the "finalists" will also be completed within the next three months.

The awarding body has the final say on the award, can overturn the unanimous recommendation of the jury, and will not accept any appeal.

The Faculty of Arts has only two weeks or more than four weeks from the resumption of the meeting to the announcement of the results, which means that the final results will be announced in October.

Every Thursday night there are discussions, deliberations, and voting until one candidate receives more than half of the votes!
