The fourth is elfriede jelinek. Yokarczuk is the only one I've read (and rate highly). I'm not into their famous blue covers.

Moncrief's translation is beautiful, but it's almost as much Moncrief as it is Proust (from what I understand--I can sorta read French). I have yet to try the Davis translation.

"elfriede jelinek"

Ah ok, she's been published by a range of publishers.

I think Europa supporting Ferrante or Archipelago doing the same for Knausgaard is more significant even if they didn't win the Nobel.
