Updike, eh?

[John Doe]

Yeah, the Centaur was a well-wrought story; a gem of a
novel...wouldn't mind Updike getting the prize...but
again, I bet the Academy has in mind someone more
earthy and marginalized....Updike reeks of too much
priveledge; as do most American writers, for the
Swedish Academy to take "seriously"....no one would be
more happy tham me to be dead wrong on that score,
though. Pynchon should get it on the basis of sheer,
raw talent alone, but They award the Prize based on
moralizing content or marginalization lately, not
inventive power or wit...wit has little cache these
days. Saure Bummer : (
