This year’s Nobel Prize for Literature has gone to a writer who is relatively well-known (at least his work that has been made into movies is) and writes in English. So the English-speaking world, which views itself as the center of the universe, should be pleased. Though I suspect that there are many worthy writers working in less popular languages who missed out on a chance to gain wider audiences.
