Nobel laureate Transtromer's work out of stock

New York: If you're looking to buy the poetry of the new Nobel laureate, Sweden's Tomas Transtromer, you'll probably have to wait.Most laureates enjoy at least a brief sales bump, but copies of "The Great Enigma," ''The Half-Finished Heaven" and other collections were out of stock Thursday for at least a week at Amazon.com and other stores.And none of his work is likely to be available as an e-book soon. Most poetry cannot be downloaded onto the Kindle or other devices because of formatting problems.[caption id="attachment_101210" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="New Nobel laureate Tomas Transtromer's work out of stock.
