¿Se atreverá la Academia Sueca a hacer un pronunciamiento político cuando anuncie el jueves el Nobel de Literatura? De hacerlo, podría premiar a un escritor que defiende la libertad de expresión, señalan expertos.

Entre los citados como posibles galardonados figuran la autora y crítica del Kremlin Liudmila Ulitskaya, conocida por sus novelas épicas a menudo centradas en relaciones personales, y el británico Salman Rushdie, quien sobrevivió a un apuñalamiento el año pasado después de vivir oculto durante años por una sentencia de muerte dictada por Irán por su novela "Los versos satánicos", de 1988.

Pero la Academia Sueca también podría premiar a un escritor menos conocido, como la china Can Xue, una autora de ficción vanguardista.
