Svetlana Alexievich wins Nobel Prize in literature

Belarusan journalist Svetlana Alexievich was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature Thursday for work that the Swedish Academy described as “a monument to suffering and courage in our time.”The Nobel committee rarely chooses nonfiction writers for the literature prize. Alexievich, 67, is the author of, among other books, “Voices from Chernobyl,” about survivors of the nuclear plant disaster in Ukraine in 1986.
