Hi! My name is JB Hoang Tam and I am originally from

freelance journalist and lecturer in literary conferences. I have been following the Nobel Prize in Literature since 2017 when it was won surprisingly by Kazuo Ishiguro

and which sparked my interest surrounding the secret deliberations of the Nobel Committees, hence, the obvious interest in the prizes.

I have been traveling to different countries interviewing debut authors and well celebrated ones. The following countries were the places I've been to:

Continent	Country
Europe	Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Poland, Spain, Switzerland and Sweden
Africa	Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria, Cote d'Ivoire, and South Africa
North America	Canada, Haiti, Jamaica, Mexico, United States
South America	Brazil and Colombia
Oceania	Australia and Fiji
Asia	India, Israel, Japan, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam (my home country)
