Yes, well, I suppose that there are those who might have said that Hans Christian Andersen should have won the Nobel Prize, if only he had been born a century later, when such a thing existed. However, he was mostly a creature of the 19th century, and also Danish, not really Swedish, and fairy tale stories are a dime a dozen nowadays, so there is not much reason to address such a question in future.
Besides which, what does a Nobel Prize really say? Ok, so Faulkner won the Nobel even while being a drunken wretch, head full of fictional trivialities of the most obscure wording to confound grammatical exactitude, so whatever.
There is apparently no way to predict what might appeal to those dull Swedish whackos eventually.
