A witty and at times provocative overview of the history of the Nobel Prize in Literature, from its beginnings in 1901 through to the present day. The author looks at the way it was initially inaugurated, Nobel's original intentions, how they have been interpreted over the years, the make-up of the committee and the decision-making process.
