Crisis within Nobel Committee grows: another member has resigned

stockholm - The crisis within the committee that awards the Nobel Prize for Literature every year is growing. Again a member of the so-called Swedish Academy has resigned because of a scandal around the spouse of one of the members. In Swedish media it is now being speculated that the prize may not be awarded this year.

The Academy announced Saturday that Sara Stridsberg has signed out as a member. She is the sixth member of the eighteen to leave, although the members are actually members for life.

The reason is affair about the spouse of fellow patient Katarina Frostenson who would have harassed or abused eighteen women. Frostenson is also accused that she would have leaked the name of the potential winner seven times and that she would have transferred money from the Academy to a cultural club run by her husband and of which she is co-owner.
