Akademiledamoten Lars Gyllensten claimed that He heard of several years later and wanted the prize money. But then it was too late.
The Russian author Boris Pasternak accepted the prize in 1958. However, later forced the Russian authorities for him to say no.

Doris lessing’s doctor advised her not to go. She then wrote a speech which her publisher read. When Tomas Tranströmer was awarded the prize made a programme on the basis of his poems, because the poet’s speech difficulties after a stroke.
