Nobel Committee for Literature

The Nobel Committee for Literature is a group of experts appointed by the Swedish Academy that selects the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature each year. They review numerous nominations, evaluate an author's body of work, and deliberate to identify a writer who has produced outstanding contributions to the field of literature. Their goal is to recognize authors who have enriched humanity with their storytelling, poetry, or philosophical writings, reflecting the values of Alfred Nobel's will. The committee’s work helps honor literary excellence and promote cultural understanding worldwide.
