The Wall Street Journal predicts this year's five Nobel Prize winners: Svetlana Alexievich, Haruki Murakami, Ngugĩ wa Thiong'o, Philip Roth, Adonis and Joyce Carol Oates.

Candidate for the 2015 Nobel Prize for Literature

The decision of the Swedish Academy of Sciences for the most deserving literary face for this year's Nobel Prize is expected to be "not as usual".

According to Guardian, the 112th writer to be honored in the literary category of this year's Nobel season will be announced at the beginning of Thursday afternoon October 8 (Swedish time).

Peter Englund, who recently resigned as the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, said the Swedish Academy of Sciences received 259 nominations from publishers, literary associations and universities.

Members of the committee selected 198 people, including 36 previously nominated writers, and gradually narrowed the list to five in the past summer.

And just as Mr. Peter Englund writes on the website of the Nobel Prize, 'it is not difficult to find worthy candidates. There are so many people, the world is so big . The hardest part is picking out who is worthy of receiving the prize '.

Mr. Englund also admitted: 'I have never seen an award where everyone agrees completely. If so, that is a strange thing. '

The Wall Street Journal's names below are leading the online betting tables of British betting group Ladbrokes:

1. Svetlana Alexievich

Belarusian writer and investigative journalist Svetlana Alexievich is an admirer of the book who is praised for his materialistic works created from the materials in her interviews.

Among them are famous books like 'War's Unwomanly Face' (Face not suitable for women of war) and 'Zinky Boys' ( Zinky Boys ).

The work of the Belarusian female writer depicts the life and war in the former Soviet Union and the post-Soviet period. Her name, Svetlana Alexievich, has become more impressive and this year, she has become the name believed by betting people to be able to win the highest Nobel prize.

2. Haruki Murakami

As the name is almost constantly put on betting pages every time the Nobel season arrives, Japanese writer Murakami has as many fans as those who do not like him.

Although this writer was very much compared to a rock star in contemporary literature, those who disliked him argued that his literary style could not reach the Nobel-awarded level.

Murakami himself has always seen himself as a top candidate worthy of being awarded this prestigious literary award for many years.

3, Pentagon wa Thiong'o

This Kenyan writer has for years been at the top of the betting tables. He has written in Gikuyu since the 1970s.

In 1964, his name began to be noticed in the English-speaking world with the first novel written in English titled 'Weep not, Child'.

The 77-year-old writer used to spend a year in prison in the 1970s, after which he lived in exile for several decades and returned to Kenya in the early 21st century.

In an interview with Sweden's 2013 news agency, when asked who deserves to receive the Nobel Prize for literature, Nguog wa wa Thiong'o said he wanted to give it to himself.

4, Philip Roth

The writer is often honored as the greatest American novelist who is still alive, Philip Roth's style of writing is described as an incredibly American accent.

In 2005, Philip Roth became the third American writer to be published full-time by the National Library of America.

5. Joyce Carol Oates

Writer Joyce Carol Oates is the author of more than 40 novels and many plays, short stories, poems and non-fiction works. For many years, she has always been a popular name among numerous candidates for the Nobel Prize for literature.

Female writer Joyce Carol Oates fears that her popularity will not be considered for awards. However, the Swedish Academy of Sciences affirmed that the famous factor did not hinder the examination. Evidence is that in 2010, bestseller writer Mario Vargas Llosa was also awarded the Nobel Prize for literature.

6. Adonis

The poet Adonis is a Syrian living in exile in Paris since the 1960s. For more than a decade, he has consistently been nominated for a Nobel Prize. Many people honor him as the greatest surviving Arabic poet.

Since the war broke out in Syria, many rumors have surfaced that he will be awarded for political advantages. However, the Swedish Academy of Sciences affirms that the process of examination will not be based on any other factors than literature.
