Was the Nobel Prize in Literature a once-in-a-lifetime award?
The Nobel Prize in Literature was not something that could only be won once in a lifetime. Although the Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to those who had made outstanding contributions to the field of literature, it was not a lifelong honor. It was also possible that they would no longer engage in literary creation due to health problems or other factors. For example, Mo Yan, the Nobel Prize winner in Literature, won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2012 but stopped writing in 2016 because of health problems. Faulkner, another Nobel Prize winner in literature, continued to write for decades after winning the prize until he finished some works before his death. Therefore, the Nobel Prize in Literature was not something that could only be won once in a lifetime.
