Nobel Literature Pick Heartens Liberal Poles in Populist Era

Associated Press

   WARSAW, POLAND - The Swedish Academy's decision to bestow the 2018
   Nobel Prize in literature on Polish author Olga Tokarczuk has given a
   rare morale boost to liberal Poles only three days before a national
   election that is likely to be won by the country's right-wing populist
   party.

   Tokarczuk, 57, is a literary celebrity in Poland, whose reputation has
   risen fast in the English-speaking world, particularly after she won
   the Man Booker International prize in 2018 for her novel "Flights." She
   won the Nobel for what the prize committee said was "a narrative
   imagination that with encyclopedic passion represents the crossing of
   boundaries as a form of life."
