French writer and Nobel laureate
The Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded to Anne Carson. Articles from multiple outlets highlight Carson's hybrid oeuvre and its blending of poetry, translation, and classical texts. The reporting notes Icelandic locale, archival translations, and the prize’s significance amid debates on euro-centrism and sexism.
Children’s laureates Chris Haughton and Nicola Davies have said they will donate forthcoming UK royalties to Sally Rooney after her UK publisher stopped supplying her books. Rooney has said she will give proceeds to Palestine Action, a group proscribed under UK terrorism law; Faber and Rooney agreed to halt UK sales because the publisher cannot pass on UK earnings.
