Uladzimir Nyaklyayeu nominated for Nobel Prize in Literature
The Belarusian PEN-centre has taken the decision.
The annual Nobel Prize award ceremony will take place in the first half of October in Stockholm. The prize is usually awarded to the writers whose books have been translated into many European languages and have been generally recognized. Nyaklyayeu has little chance to win as his books have not been translated much. He is known as a politician rather than a writer in Europe, informs “Nasha Niva”.
