The 2011 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, a notoriously hard to predict award, will be announced on Thursday. Here are the winners from the past decade.
The British author, who has written "The Grass Is Singing" and "The Golden Notebook" and is known for her frank depiction of the female experience, snagged the prize in 2007. The committee said she was an author "who with skepticism, fire and visionary power has subjected a divided civilization to scrutiny." Lessing was the eleventh woman and the oldest person ever to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature.
