		Horace was a member of a literary circle that included Virgil and Lucius Varius Rufus; they introduced him to Maecenas, friend and confidant of Augustus.

	Austrian novelist/poet Jelinek wins Nobel Prize in literature - billingsgazette.com
		Engdahl said many of her works also focus on the entertainment industry, both in Europe and America, which she "believes affects people in a way that makes them susceptible to the economic elite." Using parody and satire, Jelinek tries to tear down the industry's facade, he said.
		Engdahl said the academy may be criticized for choosing a writer whose works are not readily accessible to average readers, and that many will find hard to understand.
		Engdahl said readers who open one of Jelinek's novels must "shake off the standard expectations you have when reading a novel, that is that a story is about to be told."

		But Engdahl went on to describe Bambiland as showing "how patriotic enthusiasm turns into insanity," adding, "she's completely right about that." The Swedes are big experts on patriotism--they sold iron ore to the Nazis while claiming to be neutral in World War II.

		Like all supposed readers of witherswith well know, Horace Engdahl, Ph.D., is one of the foremost pop-literati idols of modern Sweden, and indeed the rest of the World too.
		Fylking has on numerous occations been inexplicably present, sometimes cleverly disguised, in the so called Börsrummet, where the Winner is announced each year, where he proceeds to maraud the ceremony's quotidian issuance, frequently by loudly screaming "Äntligen!" (Finally!) when the winner's name is announced.
		If ever the thought of such a coup d'état were to occur to you, remember Horace's clever but stern words "Innebörden i uttrycket "det fria ordet" är ju inte att man skulle ha rätt att yttra vad som helst i vilket sammanhang som helst".

		"What he's really attacking in Islam is a particular trait that it has in common with all cultures that conquerors bring along - that it tends to obliterate the preceding culture," Engdahl said.
		Naipaul has the reputation for being tough-minded, with no use for such literary rituals as publishing parties and flattering blurbs for his peers.

		'I don't think we will have violent protests from the Islamic countries,' Engdahl said in Stockholm, 'and if they take the care to read his travel books from that part of the world, they will realize that his view of Islam is a lot more nuanced.' "
		Naipaul summarized that more nuanced view in an interview published by the Guardian.
