MAD WORLD 1... NOBEL NUTTINESS

THE Nobel Prize In Literature will not be awarded this year for the first time since 1949 because the photographer husband of a member of the Swedish Academy has been accused of sexual harassment. I fail to see what any of this has to do with books. Still, having been a judge for a literary prize myself, I can understand why the poor sods charged with reading 200 improving doorstoppers before breakfast seized any excuse to kick this can down the road.
