Did John Steinbeck win the Nobel Prize by default?
John Steinbeck and the Nobel Prize
Svenska Dagbladet article (in Swedish)
Kathimerini (in Greek)
Anouilh, Blixen, Durrell and Graves were also on the shortlist.
De fem författare som kommittén inför sista vårsammanträdet hade föreslagit till Nobelpriskandidater var Jean Anouilh, Karen Blixen, Lawrence Durrell, Robert Graves och John Steinbeck. Karen Blixen avled i början av september och i Lawrence Durrells fall ansågs inte ”Alexandriakvartetten” kvalificera för ett pris.
Update from Durrelliana, A Scrapbook
and from The Daily Telegraph
