I think any member of PEN can nominate Rowling, but I think she deserves the Peace Prize rather than the literature prize. Much as I love her books, I think they should pass the test of time a bit more--though, Pearl Buck didn't have to wait. The Peace Prize can be applied to all kinds of contributions, except of course Henry Kissinger, who DIDN'T deserve it. Fran
