| But the awards are not based on types. As far as I can tell, Echegaray's and Benavente's plays were all their significant published works. That's certainly true of O'Neill. If they published great novels like Beckett those would have been cited too. Dylan's Nobel page mentions his memoir. |

| They might have done some other stuff but these are probably mostly dramas which seems to be not as persuasive for Nobel committee. | |

| Williams was also a prose and poetry writer. I know people love his poetry but I love the prose works I’ve read. I particularly love his late career novel “Moise and the World of Reason”. | |

| Williams's short stories are well known and Miller published memoirs. But yes, if they'd won it would have been for the plays. I don't think Pinter won because of his poetry or Dylan because of his memoir. | |

| I tend to think Pinter finally passed the test for his Gulf War era poems and plays that were overt attacks on American militarism. Or perhaps that’s too cynical of me. In any event, oh how the wheel has turned with Sweden joining NATO. I’m sure it will turn again… No award for Caryl Churchill either. |
