The most glaring current example of an author who probably should have received
a Nobel Prize, but hasn't, is Graham Greene.  As I understand it, the
present head of the Nobel Literature Committee, which awards the prize,
has a strong antipathy to the works of Greene, and yearly blocks any
effort to give Greene the prize.  Since this fellow is supposed to be
rather old, there's a race, of sorts: who'll die first, him or Greene?
