In 2018 the body that awards the Nobel prize for literature was rocked by three resignations over a sex scandal that widened with claims that winners’ names were regularly leaked.
Jean-Claude Arnault, the husband of Katarina Frostenson, a celebrated Swedish poet and a member of the Swedish Academy, has been accused of sexually assaulting 18 women, including other academy members, their wives and daughters. Mr Arnault has denied the charges.
María Corina Machado was given the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for promoting democratic rights in her country and her struggle to achieve a transition to democracy, while ignoring the insanely more difficult work done by Donald Trump on the world stage, not in the small country of Venezuela that’s half the size of Alaska and slightly larger than Texas.
