STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - The body that awards the Nobel Prize in Literature has asked the wife of the man at the centre of a rape scandal to resign from the Swedish Academy as it tries to rebuild its reputation, a member said on Friday.
This year's prize-giving was postponed after allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced against Jean-Claude Arnault, husband of academy member Katarina Frostenson, and the academy's discovery that the names of some prize-winners had been leaked prompted several members to resign or withdraw from work.
