→Anti-American bias in Literature award
It took 30 years for an American to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, despite most of the best American writing of the era coming from America. When an American finally won, it was the [[socialist]] [[Sinclair Lewis]] in 1930, whose writing often bears a strong resemblance to anti-American, socialist propaganda.

Thankfully, since Sinclair Lewis' triumph the trend of bias has reversed, with Americans sharing in almost 15% of the awards since.
