COPENHAGEN.- Place your bets. This morning the Swedish Academy will announce the writer or the writer that will become the successor of swetlana alexijewitsch as a Nobel Prize winner of Literature and the old favorites are back in the mouth of all.
The syrian Adonis, the kenyan Ngugi wa Thiongo, the american Philip Roth and the japanese Haruki Murakami topping the forecast period.
Adonis, the great poet alive in Arabic, is a candidate fixed for years and very today for his last work, an essay on islam and violence, which, among other places, has led to the recent trade fair in Gothenburg, the annual event of literature in Sweden.
Ngugi, Roth and Murakami are also common in the pools of the experts and the betting houses, mainly the japanese, year after year, is listed among the big favorites, more for its condition of success of sales worldwide for the attachment of the criticism.
Poets like the Korean Ko Un, the canadian Anne Carson, the Polish Adam Zagajewski and estonia Doris Kareva are well placed in the odds, five years after the triumph of the last award in this genre: the swede Thomas Tranströmer.
Joyce Carol Oates, Don DeLillo and Cormac McCarthy are some of the most solid representatives of the “forgotten” american letters, who do not win since 1993 with Toni Morrison, although the authorities always insist that it does not reward nor literature, nor countries, but authors.
If the Academy decides to rescue names that lead to sound years or even decades-as was the case with Doris Lessing (2007), or Mario Vargas Llosa (2010)- might reward the austrian Peter Handke, the Portuguese Antonio Lobo Antunes, the Czech Milan Kundera, the israeli Amos Oz, the dutchman Cees Nooteboom or the Italian Claudio Magris.
Although in recent years several times have won authors that came in as clear favorites -the canadian Alice Munro (2013), or the belarusian swetlana alexijewitsch (2015) – there were also surprises, such as with the austrian Elfriede Jelinek (2004) or the German Hertha Müller (2009).
The argentine César Aira reappears in the bookies as the author hispanoamericano best placed, ahead of the Spanish Javier Marías, Eduardo Mendoza and Enrique Vila-Matas.
In the never-ending list of applicants stand out also the Norwegian Jon Fosse, the israeli A. B. r. joshua, the Albanian Ismail Kadaré, the Romanian Mircea Cartarescu and the Hungarian Peter Swim.

The prose, with 76 representatives, is the genre more recognized by the Academy, that on 37 occasions, he chose authors in English, compared to 14 in French, 13 German and 11 in English.
