Favorites of bookmakers for the Noble prize in literature

On the 7th of October the Swedish Academy will award the 109th Noble prize in literature. In accordance to this event bookmaker Unibet has prepared special offers for its customers.


Despite the long tradition, the Noble prize for awardees still is the source of pride and is of huge authority. The wait for a verdict is often accompanied by huge emotions in mass media and among public. The list of potential winners is long, it is little time, and the academy members again have a very difficult choice. Last year the prize went to a Belarus master of literature report, Svetlana Alexievich, what we wrote about here.
