I’d say the Nobel prize in Literature 2016 is being recognized.

Love the Victor Hugo reference. You guys are making me want to stick around here (May 17, 1998 68,000+ posts).

Congrats... back then I was on the enemy side, didn’t come over until Obama’s mob took over the DNC.

I think Hugo’s funeral attendance used to be listed as a world record... apparently the entire city of Paris came out for it. I think we should be that way with writers, teach young people that words and word-craft is important.

I think Obama's receipt of the Nobel for Peace ten years earlier so totally turned off most on this Forum that there is virtually no subsequent award that we would have considered noteworthy, not because of the recipient, but because of the stain on the Nobel Committee. But I take your point.
