Nobel Prize in Literature

Never mind the Pulitzer or the Newbery or the Hugo; this is the Literature award that everybody has heard of.

The Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded since 1901, with only seven years seeing no awards: 1914, 1918, 1935, 1940, 1941, 1942, and 1943. In a partial balance to that, though, 1904, 1917, 1966, and 1974 each saw two awards given. The announcement of the 2018 award was delayed until 2019; we shan't go into why.
