It’s become a bit of a tradition. Every year, before the Nobel Prize in Literature is announced, people start throwing around the name of Syrian poet Adonis (or Adunis). They did it in 2003. And in 2004. And now in 2005. I’m tired of getting disappointed every time. I’m just going to assume it’s NOT going to be Adonis this year.
