Nobel Prize Buka for One-Phrase Novel

An author of a “one-phrase” novel has been awarded for “the most original work of 2009, developing the principles of minimalism in Russian literature,” reports Russia Times, the original article having been published by news agency Itar Tass in Russian.

Vladimir Blinov received the “Nobel Prize Buka” for his book “The novel with no title,” which consists of one phrase: “Nope! I’ll do it myself [female pronoun – ed.].”

The “Nobel Prize Buka” was established in the city of Ekaterinburg by the Old Man Bukashkin association, dedicated to the artist Evgeny Malakhin. This community promotes original principles in art.
