Subtitle: An unexpected phenomenon strikes the literary world. A cod has won the prestigious Nobel Prize in Literature.

In a whirlwind of astonishment and wonder, the literary world has been struck by an incredible news – a cod, yes, a fish, has won the prestigious Nobel Prize in Literature. In a decision that left critics and readers dumbfounded, the Nobel committee announced that the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate is, in fact, a fish of the species Gadus morhua, better known as cod.

The cod, which has been officially named “Cod Marley” by the Stockholm aquarium that houses it, was recognized for its “exceptional poetic work that, with ironic beauty, has expanded the boundaries of literature.” The committee praised the way the cod used its fins to trace patterns in the sand at the bottom of its aquarium that, according to its caretakers, resembled poems.

“Marley has a true sensitivity,” said aquarist Helga Svensson about the fish’s astonishing creativity. “What he writes in the sand could very well be perceived as a random assortment of lines and circles, but when you stop and look closely, you can see the emergence of a true poem. And it’s not just one poem. It’s a complete work, with a beginning, a middle, and an end.”

The literary community is in an uproar, trying to understand and accept this unexpected decision. Some literary experts have supported Marley, congratulating the Nobel committee for its ability to “see beyond conventions and follow the flow of inspiration wherever it leads, even if it seems absurd at first glance.” Others, however, have expressed skepticism about a fish’s ability to produce a literary work of value.
