Canadian Poet Anne Carson the Top Seed at 2019 Nobel Prize for Literature Betting Odds

The Nobel Prize in literature will come out on Thursday, October 10. Although the winner is notoriously difficult to predict, bookmakers suggest Anne Carson is on top of their 2019 Nobel Prize for Literature betting odds.

The Swedish Academy will announce laureates for both 2018 and 2019 on October 10. The decision comes after a sex scandal forced the Academy to withhold last year’s prize. Accordingly, online gambling sites in Sweden consider the Canadian poet Anne Carson is leading the 2019 Nobel Prize for Literature betting odds. However, for last year’s prize, the Guadeloupean novelist Maryse Conde is the frontrunner. Here is a description of the two leading candidates and their top challengers.

Anne Carson’s readership is wide and her awards are many 

Anne Carson is a decorated Canadian poet and essayist. She has gained a wide readership throughout her publishing career. Carson regularly writes on love, desire, sexual longing, and despair. Her recent collections include Nox 2010, Red Doc> 2013, and Float 2016. Besides, she has many highly-regarded translations of classical writers such as Sappho and Euripides.

Carson’s awards are many, including fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and the American Academy in Berlin. She has also received the Lannan Literary Award, the Pushcart Prize, and the Griffin Poetry Prize. In 2001, she was the first woman to receive England’s T.S. Eliot Prize for Poetry. 22BET Sportsbook expects Carson to add the 2019 Nobel Prize to her list of accolades with a value of 5.

Maryse Conde won the 2018 New Academy Prize

Maryse Conde comes from a very small country called Guadeloupe in the southern Caribbean sea. She is the author of some 20 novels including Desirada, Segu, and Crossing the Mangrove. The major theme of Conde’s work is about evoking hope and fear in postcolonial places and communities. Due to her great contribution, Conde won the New Academy Prize, a one-time award that filled the void left by the cancellation of 2018’s Nobel Prize for Literature. As a gesture of innovation, the Swedish Academy might decide to award Conde with the official Nobel Prize at 6 odds.

Haruki Murakami is frequently seen as the Nobel Prize favorite
