It is considered one of the more prestigious international literary prizes, often compared with the Nobel Prize in Literature. The New York Times called the prize “The Oklahoma Nobel” in 1982,[2] and the prize is sometimes referred to as the “American Nobel”.[3][4] Since it was founded in 1970, some 30 of its laureates, candidates, or jurors have also been awarded Nobel Prizes.[5][6][7][8] Like the Nobel, it is awarded to individuals for their entire body of work, not for a single one.
