Anne Carson, a celebrated Toronto-born poet, has garnered widespread attention following her recent win of the Nobel Prize in Literature. This acknowledgment has triggered a remarkable rise in the sales of her books, with reports indicating an increase of more than 10,000 per cent at Indigo, a major Canadian bookseller. The phenomenon has been described as 'Anne Carson fever' as both readers and libraries respond enthusiastically to her achievement. Many libraries across Canada are seeing unprecedented demand for her works, leading to a substantial number of holds being placed on her books. In addition, a Canadian rock band has reported a boost in streams related to their music, reflecting the cross-cultural impact of Carson's win, which has extended beyond literary circles to influence other art forms in Canada.
