Thank you for not discussing the Nobel prizes,
especially Doris Lessing. More racist and unfair than
them is harder to accept in this day and age. There is
literature, revolutionary literature, peace activists,
outside of the narrow band of people who seem to
receive them. Unfortunately, they lack the marketing
and lobbying that the winners seem to have.

With thanks,
