- The 76-year-old Canadian poet, essayist and translator Anne Carson receives the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature.
- The Nobel committee praised her versatile oeuvre and its playful dialogue with the classical tradition.
- The award carries 12 million Swedish kronor, equivalent to £900,000 or $1.2 million.
- According to Ingrid Carlberg, Carson learned by phone shortly before the announcement in Iceland and was surprised but happy.
This method of writing leads to playful and ironic works that move not only between classical and modern poetry but also between different genres and artforms.— Anders Olsson, chairman of the Swedish Academy's Nobel committee for Literature, said.

- Court documents show that the Supreme Court on Monday denied Trump’s request to rehear a 2023 civil case in which he was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll.
- In the lawsuit filed under the New York Adult Survivors Act in 2022, a jury awarded Carroll about $5 million in damages, while the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s review petition in June and his rehearing request on Monday.
- Carroll alleged in 2019 that Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in New York City in the 1990s, leading to two separate trials.
- In a separate defamation case, a federal jury ordered Trump in 2024 to pay $83.3 million over remarks made while he was in office, and his team is currently seeking Supreme Court review based on presidential immunity.
No one is above the law, not even a former President of the United States.— Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, said at the time.
