The Swedish body that awards the annual Nobel prize for literature will name two winners this week, including one for 2018 when the ceremony was scuttled by a sexual assault scandal that prompted reforms by the long secretive organization.
The Swedish Academy was forced to shelve the 2018 prize when it was engulfed by rape accusations against the husband of an Academy member.
"I think they can, and to some extent they have already begun doing so, act more openly than they have done in the past and I think that would be a good thing," said Lars Heikensten, executive director of the Nobel Foundation.
