Member of the Council of Experts of the Big Book Prize (Russia’s leading award in the field of prose), Evgenia Dekina, commented to MK on the likelihood of a writer from our country receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature this Thursday.
“It seems to me that no one from Russia, for political reasons, has a chance of winning the Nobel Prize this year. And I would rather vote for Vladimir Sorokin than for Lyudmila Ulitskaya (although I recently read somewhere that even bookmakers bet on Ulitskaya rather than on Sorokin).
In my opinion, awards should be given to works that most strongly influenced the consciousness of contemporaries. And personally, Sorokin at one time shocked me much more than Ulitskaya, although I also love her dearly.
– But if not ours, then which foreign writer will receive a gold medal with a profile of the inventor of dynamite?
– I would nominate Neil Gaiman – he was the first, his original ideas are picked up by authors from around the world. Although the prize will probably be awarded to Haruki Murakami.
