David, you describe the Nobel choices of the past 10 years as 'pretty inconsequential poets and writers'. Apart from Muller, mainly famed as a novelist, the only poets who've won in the last decade are Szymborska and Transtromer (can't do umlauts on this device). Would you seriously call them inconsequential?
Other writers include Coetzee, Vargas Llosa, Lessing, Kertesz, Saramago - 'pretty inconsequential' - really?
