Answer 2

Answer:

c. Jorge Luis Borges

Explanation:

He was nominated repeatedly, in 1967 he almost succeeds, but he never won it. The same author and his environment claimed political motives, while the other campaign - the academy - justified that his art was "too exclusive or artificial"

Thanks to the declassification of the Academy archives, 50 years later, the reasons why Jorge Luis Borges did not receive the Nobel Prize for Literature after the 1967 nomination were discovered. The main reason, which was believed for a long time, and that the same writer held, was the politician. The writer was conservative and very critical of the committed literature of his time, and his anti-Peronism is mentioned, his approach to Rafael Videla and the visit to Augusto Pinochet to receive an honorary doctorate from the University of Chile. There he delivered a speech that was highly questioned and which years later publicly repented, in which he praised the dictator. In fact, it was confirmed by the Swedish academic Arthur Lundkist (who introduced Borges' work through translations in Europe), that these sayings were taken into account by the Academy. In 2016, it was María Kodama, the writer's widow, who reaffirmed it.
