This year no Nobel Prize for Literature

paris/stockholm - For the first time since 1943, the Nobel Prize for Literature is not awarded this year. The Swedish Academy has decided this after a series of allegations of sexual misconduct and the leaking of decisions by the academy.

The Academy announced on Friday that it will skip a year. The reason for this is the affair surrounding the spouse of fellow patient Katarina Frostenson who would have harassed or abused eighteen women.
