T.S. Eliot Wins the Nobel Prize for Literature

By Mark McGuinness

Reporter: Mr Eliot, for which of your works were you awarded the Nobel Prize?

Eliot: I assume it was for the entire corpus.

Reporter: When did you publish that?

Priceless.

(Via the wonderful Ackroyd biography.)

    Saw the recent BBC documentary on Eliot featuring his scrap books for the first time. Fascinating.
