What are the odds that Orhan Pamuk would win the Nobel Prize for Literature the very same day the Lower House of Parliament in France passed a bill criminalising denial of the Armenian genocide?

You've got to hand it to the Nobel Committee for once again picking a general rabble-rouser and disturber of the peace. Pamuk should fit nicely alongside Shirin Ebadi, Rigoberta Menchú Tum and Harold Pinter on that front.

I guess I have to read My Name is Red now.
