Steinbeck May Win Nobel Prize
STOCKHOLM — (UEI) — American and Japanese authors figure in mounting speculation here on the winner of this year's Nobel Prize for Literature, to be announced Oct. 25.
Informed sources said today that between 50 and 60 names have been proposed for consideration by the Swedish Academy of Letters, which awards the literature prize.
AMERICAN novelist John Steinbeck, who was considered some years ago, was put back on the list this year in a high position, the sources said.
Israeli theologian Martin Buber, who was recommended as a candidate last year by the late United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold, is another possible top-runner.
Some sources said the academy perhaps would consider giving the prize to Buber for his book "I and Thou," which Hammarskjold had planned to translate into Swedish. But others said the book was written too long ago to receive the prize now.
JAPANESE writers Jurozaburo Nichiwiak, Janichiro Tanizaki and Yasinari Kawabata also have been mentioned in pre-award speculation, with Tanizaki considered the leading contender among them.
