What do you think about Nobels in literature?
Nobels in several categories are pretty controversial stuff. The ones in economics are often seen as an expression of (libertarian, capitalist) political biases at the top levels of the field rather than good scholarship. The ones in physics (and other sciences) are criticized by physicists for their outdated view of how science is done, given to one "hero" who may or may not have contributed all that much to a result brought to you by giant teams of interns and lab assistants whose hard work and brilliant contributions get either overlooked or misattributed. The ones in "peace" are, to put it mildly, seen as questionable.
What about the ones in literature? Do you see them as genuine expression of artistic value?
Did previous literature Nobels age well, in your opinion?
Do you see any patterns or biases? Art is never politically neutral, and neither are highly prestigious international awards, but would you say there's a visible political agenda? How often?
Do you think the Nobels are getting better? Or perhaps worse?

EDIT : It's really interesting that a neutral question about what _you_ think got people upset enough to be downvoted. Is it because I mentioned what some other people think about some other Nobel Prizes? That was just to provide context for why I'm asking in the first place. I'm not here to discuss whether some scientists think what they tell me they think. I don't care if you agree with them. I'm also not asking for your commentary on my character and personal life or career choices. If you're not here to discuss books, please move on.
