I’ll admit I haven’t read any of his work. A few of his novels appear currently to be available for free on Kindle to Amazon Prime subscribers.

Title of the book, please!
I believe you know this, Elbows - but the award is not given for a single work but the author’s canon.
I was really hoping Haruki Murakami would win, just so I could say I have done some Nobel Prize reading.
He’s famous for the book “Red Sorghum”.
My Bad. Thanks for setting me straight, it had completely slipped my mind! When I read the linked articles I thought it very odd they didn’t mention ‘the’ title. I’ve been spending too much time perusing book award lists, for titles. Thanks again.
I actually did read Red Sorghum, but only because long ago when the earth was young I took a Chinese class at Duke’s nerd camp for young teens and saw the Zhang Yimou movie in it, and then years later I needed something for a plane trip and saw the book in the airport bookstore. (Very good, mind you.)
