Type: article
Abstract: As both the fi rst writer and the fi rst woman from Belarus to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, Svetlana Alexievich became a centre of public attention worldwide.While the fi rst tweets from the Nobel announcement room generated some confusion regarding this unknown writer from an unknown land -with about "10,000 reporters googling Svetlana Alexievich" (Brooks 2015) -the subsequent media coverage of the writer in such publications as The Guardian, The New Yorker, and Der Spiegel sketched out a broad picture of Alexievich's life, career and main works.
