The Swedish Academy confirms that it will present two Nobel Prize winners this year | Culture
The Nobel Foundation has confirmed this morning what it already anticipated in 2018: it will give two Literature prizes. One for the current edition and another for the one suspended last year after the scandal of harassment and sexual abuse in the environment of the Academy, which uncovered irregularities in the institution that chooses the most international literary award.
As has advanced the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter, The board of the Nobel Foundation has met on Tuesday to decide whether to award a Nobel Prize in literature this year. This has been stated by the permanent secretary of the Academy, Anders Olsson.
The Swedish Academy suspended the prize award in May 2018, for the first time since 1949, while facing one of its worst moments since its founding in 1786, announced on Friday that it will postpone the decision and delivery of the Nobel until next year. In its history, eThe award has been postponed seven times but it is the first that is postponed by a controversy of this kind.
