Michael Moorcock Nobel Prize IN Literature

The Issue

There's a kind, old English man that did everything the hard way and has given our culture iconic fiction, journalism, fantasy, and the foundation for a whole school of thought for both an entire branch of theoretical physics and one of the most successful entertainment franchises of the last two centuries.  And he's still alive. He coined the word Multiverse almost 60 years ago. His characters are Iconic to the point that these attributes of humanity, story arc, and plot have become tropes in several genres of the literary world. He did it first, from steampunk, to his influence on cyberpunk with JerryCornelius. His alternate history writings alone are worthy of required reading for every thinking adult. He is an international treasure that transcends time and genres.  His contributions to music, art, and literature can hardly be overstated. He may very well be the most prolific original creator who's works have ever been recorded. 

 

Is there any reason he should not be awarded the Nobel Prize. If anyone thinks of one, I would like to hear it, in full.

The designator of this international gold standard of human achievement need to recognize greatness,  humility and embrace the legacy of the best extant writer in the industry,  of the English language. Who's works have been translated into virtually every language in common use on our planet. The person is an icon, and Michael Moorcock hung out with, interviewed,  and chronicled icons,  in several industries. He has repeatedly spoken truth to power.  And his works will continue to do so well after his physical form has left our  portion of the Multiverse. Stockholm  need to be his fanboys.
