In an unusual move, the Swedish Academy doled out Nobel Prizes in literature to two authors on Thursday: Polish writer Olga Tokarczuk, who won the postponed 2018 award, and Austrian author Peter Handke, who won the prize for this year. The academy's permanent secretary, Mats Malm, announced the winners at a press briefing in Stockholm.
Tokarczuk, 57, was recognized "for a narrative imagination that with encyclopedic passion represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life," according to the judges' citation, released Thursday.

Peter Handke has been denounced as a fascistic Serbian nationalist. Cool!
That’s okay. Neither do they. That word goulash isn’t intended to explain anything. It’s just artbabble designed to make you feel stupid for not understanding it.
The inside joke is, there’s nothing there to understand.
Yeah...What a bunch of malarkey that is!
