Ko Un Said to be Among Nobel Lit. Finalists

Famed South Korean poet Ko Un is again said to be among the finalists for this year's Nobel Prize for Literature.

British oddsmaker Ladbrokes set up a gambling Web site on Tuesday entitled “Awards-Nobel Literature Prize.”

According to the site, online gamblers give Ko ten-to-one odds to win the international literary prize for 2007, the same odds for Israeli author Amos Oz, Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami and American author Joyce Carol Oates. Italian author Claudio Magris is a five-to-one favorite.

The announcement will likely come October eleventh.
