Why didn't JK Rowling win the Nobel Prize in Literature?

The reason is limited by Nobel Prize in Literature's standards, but it doesn't matter. Although Rowling didn't win the prize, her position in everyone's mind is the same.

Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts.

Nobel had a strong interest in literature all his life, and he highly praised romantic literature. Therefore, he left the requirement of "idealism" and the understanding of "the most outstanding works" in his will, and he also gave the Nobel Prize Committee a basic standard. It is with this understanding that the Committee strictly selects outstanding writers on a global scale.

In the articles of association of the Nobel Foundation promulgated on June 29th, 1900, the judging object of its special prize for literature is defined as "including not only pure literature, but also other literary works with literary value in form and style", thus extending the literary prize to the whole category of humanities.

In the 1920s and 1930s, the winners were mostly concentrated in northern Europe and some countries with smaller ethnic groups. The two world wars made the Nobel Prize in Literature Selection Committee involuntarily pursue the policy of "neutral country" in literary selection. In view of the fact that a few writers were above the interests of the nation and state at that time, the laurels of literature naturally fell to some writers with neutral political stance and relatively mediocre creative achievements.

After World War II, the literature of various countries entered a new exploration period, and literary trends of thought rose one after another, with Starlight Glimmer, an artistic innovator. At this stage, the Nobel Committee took corresponding adjustment measures and began to pay attention to writers who dared to innovate boldly. The winners of this stage include the greatest literary masters of the 20th century.

In the late 1970s, the award committee issued a set of "pragmatic" selection principles. Nobel Prize in Literature is no longer an honor, but an investment and a bet. They reinterpreted Nobel's last wish, saying that "the donor's last wish is to award the prize to people who are in the creative stage of life, so that their activities can continue and benefit from the prize". Therefore, the purpose of Nobel Prize in Literature's award is once again emphasized as looking forward, supporting exploration and encouraging creation. In practice, the focus of awards is to reward a new work, not to make a final conclusion for a writer's life.

In recent years, Nobel Prize in Literature seems to be attracted by "immigrant writers" and "literary mixed-blood" writers. Being born in a small language and writing in a large language not only embodies "European culture as the center", but also embodies "political correctness" and has the gimmicks of "exotic scenery" and "globalization" However, this overcorrection is leading to its declining influence as a traditional European literary award. At present, the unspoken rule of the award standard of this important award has formed the concept of "winning the third place", that is, when there are more than three candidates, avoiding conflict becomes a factor that must be considered. At this time, people who have outstanding work performance (the third candidate) are generally chosen, because this can avoid the direct opposition between the first and second place, and also establish a fairness for the candidates after the third place. In the actual operation of political philosophy, this kind of compromise often has another concept: expressing self-voice, embodying the choice of will, but giving up conflict and opposition. In recent years, such masters as Borges and Kundera missed the prize, which shows this helpless compromise.

As the most prestigious literary prize in the world, the Nobel Prize has always been awarded by the following writers! 1, a person who has devoted his life to a certain literary field (he can't write seven books in his life) 2. A person who has made great contributions to a certain literary trend of thought (literary trend of thought, such as the new wave that has affected the development of the whole mankind, postmodernism). Rowling is far from this point, but in recent years, with the progress of science and technology, Rowling's novels can be put on the stage. Her classic work of that style is not hers at all, but the legend of heroes the Dragon Gun, which started the European "Dungeons and Dragons" game series and pioneered online games and most legendary novels in previous decades. Look at that novel, and you will understand that Rowling is basically a child in the primary stage of literature. 3. For those works that always pay attention to the relationship between human beings and this great universe in their own creation (for example, the Nobel Prize winners in previous years have told history the truth that others will never dare to tell), they have been thinking about "Why are people alive", "How do you know that death is better than living" and "What is the meaning of our living". 4. People who express their nation with their own works are unique literary expressors in the world. For example, several Nobel Prize winners in Japan all use their works to express the oppression of this nation in Japan! 5. People who have made great contributions to literary creation and literary theory research (for example, last year's award-winning work My Name is Red created a literary style called "unowned narration").
