Svetlana Alexievich is the winner of this year's Nobel Prize for Literature, which was awarded “for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time”. I own two of her books, Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster, and Zinky Boys: Soviet Voices from the Afghanistan War, but I haven't read either one yet. I'll bring Voices from Chernobyl with me when I go on holiday this month.

Has anyone read anything by her?

I've heard about Voices from Chernobyl, I'd like to read it. Maybe winning the prize will encourage the university library to pick it up in translation. The public library will probably get it if it's translated in Dutch, but they don't get things written in other languages in English translations. :(

I actually own Voices from Chernobyl because I bought it a few years ago based on an LT recommendation.

The British bookmakers made her favourite to win months ago. Appears to be the most overtly political choice since Harold Pinter.
