I think De Lillo deserves it but I also think the Nobel committee are
likely conscious of over representing white Western authors, so I doubt he
will win it this year, especially as Handke was awarded it in 2019.

Same reason McCarthy, Kundera, Stoppard and indeed TRP are unlikely to win
it this year.
