Ten years ago, American critics said they stopped caring about the Nobel Prize because of the long wait for an American laureate. Since then, Bob Dylan and Louise Glück have received the prize, but great American novelists such as Philip Roth, Cormac McCarthy and Paul Auster have passed away, while Don DeLillo, Thomas Pynchon and Joyce Carol Oates have come of age. Researchers at Stockholm and Uppsala universities discuss whether the Nobel committee risks missing an important generation of postmodernist writers whose work had global significance, while noting that this group consists mainly of white men and that the prize is not awarded posthumously.
