That's just awesome! She is one of my favorite authors, and her response to winning the Nobel Prize is lovely.

Just now, if my link is still active it shows the whole sequence of her arriving home to the press, her reaction, her companion's reactions "Some professor must have died" and the phrase "oh shit."

Apparently years ago she was informed she would never win the Nobel, hence the professor reference I guess.
