Khipha bonke ababhali abaqanjwe kulesi sigaba ngezimpikiswano mayelana nokukhethwa kwabathola umklomelo kaNobel
Context:Kusukela ngo-1901 kuya ku-1912, ikomiti, eyayiholwa umuntu owayelondoloza izimiso zokuhle uCarl David af Wirsén, yalinganisa izinga lobuciko lomsebenzi uma uqhathaniswa nomnikelo walo emzabalazweni wesintu 'ngokuphathelene nokulinganisela.' ULeo Tolstoy, uHenrik Ibsen, u-Émile Zola, noMark Twain benqatshelwa ngenxa yababhali abafundwa kancane namuhla.  Umklomelo wokuqala ngo-1901, owanikwa imbongi yaseFrance uSully Prudhomme, wagxekwa kakhulu. Abaningi babekholelwa ukuthi umbhali waseRussia odumile uTolstoy kwakufanele anikezwe umklomelo wokuqala kaNobel wezincwadi.  Ukukhethwa kwezazi zefilosofi uRudolf Eucken njengomklomelo kaNobel ngo-1908 kubhekwa kabanzi njengenye yamaphutha amabi kakhulu emlandweni weNobel Prize in Literature. Ababezongenela umklomelo kulowo nyaka kwakungumlobi wezinkondlo u-Algernon Swinburne nomlobi uSelma Lagerlöf, kodwa i-Academy yahlukaniswa phakathi kwabakhethiweyo futhi, njengokuvumelana, u-Eucken, omele ukuhunyushwa kwe-Academy "kwesiqondiso esihle" sikaNobel, wethulwa njengomuntu ongakhethwa ongasetshenziswa.  Ukukhethwa kombhali waseSweden uSelma Lagerlöf njengomklomelo kaNobel ngo-1909 (ngoba "enombono ophakeme, umcabango ogqamile kanye nokubona okungokomoya okubonisa imibhalo yakhe") kulandele impikiswano enzima ngenxa yesitayela sakhe sokubhala kanye nendaba, eyaphula ama-decorum ezincwadi zesikhathi.  Phakathi neMpi Yezwe I nangemva kwayo, ikomiti yamukela isimiso sokungathathi hlangothi, yakhetha abalobi abavela emazweni angalwi. Umbhali ongumshisekeli wokuthula uRomain Rolland wanikezwa umklomelo ngo-1915. Eminye iminyaka phakathi nempi ababhali baseScandinavia babethandwa, noma umklomelo wawuhlehliswa.  Ngo-1931 umklomelo wanikezwa ngemuva kokufa kumbongi kanye nowayengunobhala waphakade weSweden Academy u-Erik Axel Karlfeldt, owayeshone ekuqaleni kwalowo nyaka. Umklomelo wawungaphikisani nje kuphela ngoba kwakuwukuqala futhi ukuphela kwesikhathi lapho iNobel Prize in Literature yanikezwa ngemuva kokufa, kodwa ngoba i-Academy yayike yanikeza abanye ababhali ababili baseSweden besikhathi esifanayo sezincwadi, uSelma Lagerlöf ngo-1909 noVerner von Heidenstam ngo-1916. Emhlabeni wonke kwakugxekwa kakhulu njengoba bambalwa ababezwe ngoKarlfeldt.  Umklomelo kaNobel owanikezwa uPearl Buck ngo-1938 ungomunye wemiklomelo egxekwa kakhulu emlandweni walo mklomelo. Lesi Sikhungo samnika lo mklomelo "ngencazelo yakhe ecebile nebabazekayo yokuphila kwabalimi eChina nangenxa yezincwadi zakhe eziyingqopha-mlando", sibhekisela ezincwadini ezaziwayo nezithandwayo ezanyatheliswa eminyakeni embalwa nje ngaphambili. Kodwa umsebenzi wakhe wokugcina ngokuvamile awuthathwa njengofana nomklomelo kaNobel.  UJohn Steinbeck wathola uMklomelo KaNobel Wezincwadi ngo-1962. Lokhu kukhethwa kwagxekwa kakhulu, futhi kwachazwa ngokuthi "enye yephutha elikhulu le-Academy" kwelinye iphephandaba laseSweden. I - New York Times yabuza ukuthi kungani ikomiti kaNobel yanikeza umklomelo kumbhali "onesiphiwo esilinganiselwe, ezincwadini zakhe ezinhle kakhulu, esikhishwa phansi yifilosofi esezingeni leshumi", yenezela, "sicabanga ukuthi kuyathakazelisa ukuthi umklomelo awunikezwanga umbhali... onokubaluleka, ithonya nomsebenzi omkhulu kakade owawunomthelela ojulile ezincwadini zesikhathi sethu".  Ngo-1964, uJean-Paul Sartre wanikezwa iNobel Prize in Literature, kodwa wabhala enqaba, ethi "Akuyona into efanayo uma ngisayina uJean-Paul Sartre noma uma ngisayina uJean-Paul Sartre, owathola iNobel Prize. Umlobi kumelwe enqabe ukuvumela ukuba aguqulwe abe yisikhungo, ngisho noma kwenzeka ngendlela ehlonipheke kakhulu". Noma kunjalo wanikezwa umklomelo.  Umbhali ophikisana neSoviet u-Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, owathola umklomelo ngo-1970, akazange abe khona emcimbini weNobel Prize eStockholm ngenxa yokwesaba ukuthi i-USSR izovimbela ukubuya kwakhe ngemuva kwalokho (imisebenzi yakhe lapho yayisakazwa nge-samizdat<unk>ngendlela eyimfihlo). Ngemva kokuba uhulumeni waseSweden enqabe ukuhlonipha uSolzhenitsyn ngomkhosi womphakathi wokunikeza umklomelo kanye nenkulumo enkulumweni yayo yaseMoscow, uSolzhenitsyn wenqaba umklomelo ngokuphelele, ephawula ukuthi izimo ezibekwe abaseSweden (ababefuna umcimbi wangasese) "zaziyisihlamba kuMklomelo kaNobel uqobo". USolzhenitsyn akazange amukele umklomelo nemali yomklomelo kuze kube ngumhlaka-10 Disemba 1974, ngemuva kokuxoshwa eSoviet Union. Ngaphakathi kweSweden Academy, ilungu u-Artur Lundkvist wayephikelele ngokuthi iNobel Prize in Literature akufanele ibe umklomelo wezombangazwe futhi wabuza ukubaluleka kobuciko bomsebenzi kaSolzhenitsyn.  Ngo-1974, uGraham Greene, uVladimir Nabokov, noSaul Bellow kwakukholelwa ukuthi bangabaqokelwa umklomelo kodwa i-Academy yanquma ukunikeza umklomelo ohlanganyelwe kubabhali baseSweden u-Eyvind Johnson noHarry Martinson, bobabili babengamalungu e-Swedish Academy ngaleso sikhathi, futhi bengazi lutho ngaphandle kwezwe lakubo. UBellow wathola uMklomelo KaNobel Wezincwadi ngo-1976; uGreene noNabokov abazange bawuthole.
