Initially thought it was a hoax: Literature Nobel winner
British author Kazuo Ishiguro who won the 2017 Nobel Prize for Literature has said that he initially thought it was a "hoax". "It's a magnificent honour, mainly because it means that I'm in the footsteps of the greatest authors that have lived," the 62-year-old said. Ishiguro is known for novels 'Never Let Me Go' and 'The Remains of the Day'.
