Prachtig verwoord door Dog of Flanders:
Hugo Claus is a local writer who, for some reason, is always tipped for a
Nobel Prize in Literature. His political views are more or less aligned with
those of Belgian State Propaganda, which goes a great deal to explain why,
barring mishaps, we will shortly be informed, in the same manner as previous
years, by State Propaganda that "this year's Nobel Prize in Literature does
not go to Hugo Claus, but another guy".
