The reception met by the Arcade Fire’s Grammy win has a precedent: while no one got around to collecting them on Tumblr, social media also erupted with exclamations of disbelief when Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa was named the recipient of the latest Nobel Prize in Literature. Here’s a selection.

Fuck the fucking Nobels! I dont know who this fucker is but ive never read any of his shitty books. What’s he from Honduras some shit? (@LEO_187)

I’m sorry, but John Grisham has sold 10 million more books than Mario Vargas Llosa. The Nobel committee is seriously out of touch. (@paulguynj)
