Show BeESow Wins Nobel Prize STOCKHOLM Saul Bellow, the novelist, won the Nobei prize for literature Thursday, giving Americans a clean sweep of all five Nobel prizes awarded this year. 1 No peace prize was given this year. Even so, this was the first time in the 76 years in which the prizes have been awarded that all recipients have been citizens of the same country. Bellow is the first American to win the literature prize since John Steinbeck in 1962. He was cited, in the words of the Swedish academy, "for the human understanding under-standing and subtle analysis of contemporary culture that are combined in his work." |
