UPDATE:

Patrick Modiano wins the Nobel Prize in literature

From "The Guardian":

______________________

"The Swedish Academy announced this morning that the winner of the literature Nobel would be revealed on Thursday 9 October at 1pm CET (noon BST). Ladbrokes, which has frequently seen the eventual victor surge to the top of its odds in the days before the announcement, said today that Ngũgĩ and Murakami were, at 4/1, joint favourites to win Thursday’s eight million kronor (£693,000) prize."

My bet is on Haruki Murakami or Joyce Carol Oates.

And yours?
