Ernest Hemingway and the Nobel Prize for Literature

Nominations for the Nobel Prize for Literature are kept classified for 50 years, which means that the documents nominating Hemingway, the 1954 winner, were opened in January 2005. Researcher Ove Swensson examined Hemingway's file at the Nobel Library of the Swedish Academy in Stockholm, and here reveals the contents of the nominating documents and of the Nobel Committee's discussion about the American writer.
