British Author Kazou Ishiguro Wins Nobel Prize in Literature

British author Kazou Ishiguro has been awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature. The committee said Ishiguro, through his novels, has "uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world." The recipient last year was poet laureate Bob Dylan, an influential contributor to popular music and culture for the past half century. The Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded 110 times between 1901 and 2017, according to NobelPrize.Org.
