Philip Roth and the Nobel Prize

Michael Bourne politely requests that the Swedish Academy 'stop the nonsense' and award him a Nobel Prize for Literature before he dies. "The case for Roth’s candidacy for a Nobel Prize isn’t that he’s a nice guy; it is that he’s a genius, and in Roth’s case, his genius lies in his audacity. Audacity doesn’t play nice. It isn’t politically correct."
