Bah, Pynchon can get in line behind Borges.
The Nobel committee is becoming a standing joke. Their general incompetence and overt political bias is even evident in the physics category these days. (Blue LEDs? Really?)

Secondly: There are different committees for each category. The Peace prize (which I agree it's a joke) is awarded by the Norwegian Nobel committee.
I strongly disagree with your claim that the other prizes, specifically physics and chemistry, are either incompetent or obviously biased.
And if there were a Nobel Prize in Engineering, I'd be on board with this.
seriously, what discovery do you have in mind?
I don't know. It's not my job to keep up with physics research, it's the Nobel committee's.
