Recent comments by the permanent secretary of the Nobel Prize-awarding Swedish Academy explain why they recommended the disappointing Elfriede Jelinek. Jelinek, as a European, is automatically superior to American authors in the mind of the Academy. Non-American and non-European authors don't bear mentioning. Of course Horace Engdahl wasn't always choosing laureates, and he won't do so forever. But it certainly casts into doubt ten out of eleven people living in Europe who have won under his reign, and it explains why the only Nobel-winning authors whose work I've enjoyed won before 1997.

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy should not be on the list as he is NOT a Nobel Laureate!

Beowulf ??? seriously ???

and to be nitpicking: nobody WINS the Nobel, this is an award which the Laureates receive! HUGE difference!

two more: Sophocles and Michael Hamburger needs to be eliminated as well!

That edition of Beowulf does indeed belong on the list; it was translated by the Irish poet Seamus Heaney, the Literature winner for 1995.

Mr. Heaney also translated that specific edition of Sophocles.

Themis-Athena, you added the Hamburger - what's the reasoning?

Blood Meridian I will remove.

I apologize. I did not notice that the translator of Beowulf and the Sophocles is listed which in this case as you mention is of course a Nobel Laureate. I still think it questionable as the title of the list clearly states "books by authors who have..." and indeed I do understand it that way that only books WRITTEN by Nobel Laureates themselves should be on the list. If you follow your interpretation EVERY book translated by a Nobel Laureate has every justification to be on the list which I think is misleading.

Thanks for removing the McCarthy novel.

Oh, good grief -- I just saw this right now. It's actually a poetry collection by Nelly Sachs, who won the Lit Nobel in 1966, translated by Michael Hamburger ...

Must have happened in the Amazon data wean-out earlier this year. I've corrected the author name.

For future reference, please, mention which titles you remove from a Listopia, as it will be a great help to other librarians. Thanks! (Don't take this the wrong way, as I'm aware that this time the title is sort of mentioned already, but it will definitely help others if you mention the title specifically when a book is deleted.)
