Theres a small but decent chance Korea's Ko Un could pull it off. He's been short-listed for years & odds are its going to be a poet & a non-European this year.
Fascinating life-history, huge body of work, & some consistently fine writing. Not so much has been translated which might be his downfall but you can get a nice flavor if you wiki him & follow links.
I'm rooting for him tomorrow. He'd be worthy. |
