Mario Vargas Llosa wins Nobel Literature Prize

 

 

Vargas Llosa is the first South American winner of the 10 million kronor prize since 1982

 

 

Peruvian Mario Vargas Llosa, one of the most acclaimed writers in the Spanish-speaking world, has been awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in literature.

:stunned:

 

congratulations!

he's been waiting it for so long... One more Nobel prize for Latin america. :)

I can't imagine how much you need to be talented to get a Nobel for literature :shocked2:

very...

 

I wonder why J. K. Rowling hasn't got one. :uhoh2:

Because she's not talented :D

joking..but the truth is that she didn't create anything new, no new gerne, or no new things to discuss in her books. She had just adopted mythology to her books and that's all. it's not for what people get Nobel

I wouldn't say she's not talented... she makes good stories, right? but for me she's not a good writer, nor writes about anything reelevant to our society, except for emo kids who want to scape to their reality and ultimately marry Harry or Hermione and live in Hogwarts forever.

 

:wacky:

haha, i totally agree with you :D

i think to get that prize you have to be a writer for long long time or had written something amazing, with a lot of hard work behind it....

 

most winners are pretty old writers that had been writing for like half their lives, or wrote encyclopedias which is a lot hard work to do.

 

congrats for Mario and spanish speakers/readers.
