Nobel Prize-winning writer Jun Fosse has found himself in the spotlight for misspelling the word “literature.” The Norwegian novelist, poet and playwright, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2023 for his “groundbreaking plays and prose,” became the subject of controversy after he misspelled the word “literature” while leaving a traditional autograph on a chair in the Nobel Museum restaurant. Instead of a double letter, write one. The newspaper Verdens Gang raised this curious incident on its pages.
Yun Fosse admitted his mistake, noting that in a hurry he made a purely technical typo. He explained that the English spelling could have confused him, and assured that he realized his mistake, writes RT.
Earlier, the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony took place in Oslo, the capital of Norway. Iranian human rights activist and vice-president of the organization Nargis Mohammadi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her determination in the fight for women’s rights in Iran, despite being in prison. Her children Kiana and Ali Rahmani read a speech the activist wrote in prison and took it upon themselves to receive the gold medal and diploma on her behalf. The event was attended by the Norwegian royal family.
The ceremony for awarding the Nobel Prizes in the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and economics took place in the Stockholm concert hall. The royal family was present at the event, and the awards were presented to the laureates by King Charles XVI of Sweden.
