Who's worth reading?

>>10851754
a lot of them.

the prize was pretty different back then and didnt get th esame level of mainstream fame/appeal until after a couple decades into its life.
but to say the first 20 are forgotten is a bit of an overgeneralization. mistral, tagore, kipling, sinkiewicz, france, and hamsun are, at the very least, major names.
