2022 Nobel Prize for Literature
The Nobel Prize for Literature is awarded to an individual based on the body of their published work. In his will, Swedish scientist Alfred Nobel stipulated that a portion of his estate be awarded "to the person who shall have produced in the field of literature the most outstanding work of an idealistic tendency."
The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2022 was awarded to Annie Ernaux, "For the courage and clinical acuity with which she uncovers the roots, estrangements and collective restraints of personal memory."
