Noble Nobels - 21st Century Laureates in Literature

By Books & Ink Bookshop

The Nobel Prize in Literature was first awarded in 1901, for outstanding contributions in literature. There have been 7 years in which the prize was not awarded: 1914, 1918, 1935, and 1940-43; four years where the award was given to 2 people: 1904, 1917, 1966, and 1974; and two awards have been rejected (although the Nobel committee does not acknowledge refusals): Boris Pasternak was forced to publicly reject his award under pressure from the Soviet Union government (1958) and Jean-Paul Sartre rejected his award in 1964. Up to and including 2023 the award has been won by 17 women.

This list is a selection of works by laureates who have been awarded prizes in the 21st Century - year 2000 up to the present day. Some authors have few works available in English translation; other authors have several works to choose from so there is a maximum of 4 works per author in the list... just to get you started.
