The 2011 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, a notoriously hard to predict award, will be announced on Thursday. Here are the winners from the past decade.
John Maxwell Coetzee, the South African-born novelist, academic, literary critic, and translator, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2003. Coetzee was also a two-time winner of the Booker Prize. The Nobel judges praised Coetzee for being an author who "in innumerable guises portrays the surprising involvement of the outsider" in his works such as "In the Heart of the Country" and "The Master of Petersburg."
