This menu is from a dinner held when the Nobel Literature laureate of 2004, Elfride Jelinek, received her medal and diploma. The dinner took pace on 17 December at the restaurant “Zum schwarzen Kameel” in Vienna, where Jelinek lived. Due to her social phobia, Jelinek was unable to attend the Nobel Prize ceremony and banquet in Stockholm. The dinner guests included Elfriede Jelinek, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, Horace Engdahl, and the chairman of the Academy’s Nobel Committee, Kjell Espmark.
The menu was donated to the Nobel Prize Museum by Kjell Espmark in 2004.
