Wait wait wait. Ignoring the fact that the nomination deadline for the Nobel prize in Literature is January 31st, him coming up with this novel makes no sense. The line 'He had read many versions of this novel' is ridiculous. He could not even spell the word "hero" in English. It would be impossible for him to read every page of the English version of the novel while still in college. There is no way that he flipped through and scanned every page of a book of which he didn't understand a single word.
