Wat we eerst wisten
- The news reached Anne Carson in Iceland, by telephone, shortly before the rest of the world heard it. Ingrid Carlberg, the Swedish Academy’s permanent secretary, told the Canadian writer she had won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature. Carson was surprised and very happy, Carlberg said, according to BBC News. For a writer whose work refuses ordinary containers, the recognition arrived in an ordinary human exchange.
